📡 Big Ten commissioner: Nebraska can't remain Big Ten member if it plays football this fall

[BamaFan334]

I agree with all that! I'm very familiar with the Big Red fan base and it's legit. But you're assuming games are going to be played... I just don't see it.

As stated multiple times, I don't see campuses staying open for long. The #'s will increase due to all of the reasons any virus on a college campus would increase (dorms, shared classrooms, shared buildings, off campus roommates, pool parties, COVID parties ) and these Presidents are going to be under immense pressure to wiggle off the hook... After, of course, tuition checks have been signed for the semester.

Ha, I agree with it after all of those upfront costs are paid. Am my comments hinge on the fact that there will be games. There would be a contingency I'm sure that any news release would need to be made if only there is a season, if the Big 12 let Nebraska into their conference for the season, or perhaps for good if the Big Ten means what it says.

They just need to make it to November 3rd. After that the pressure will be off no matter who wins the election.

Shit, Democrat's will fight like hell if POTUS Trump wins again. Look at the last 3+ years as an example.

Virus disappears should Biden win and it will fade until late January when Trump is sworn in again. Then more calls for impeachment will be stirred up and once again we will get the repeated shit storm by the Dems.

What's the over/under on assault victims that come forward if Trump wins a second term?

Well, it’s already been a long list. Probably set it at 6.

I'll give you 8 in Chicago

I
I still don’t understand how she can be sworn in as “Indian American” and then be hyped as the first Black or African American 4 years later! Is she another Elizabeth Warren?
Anyways, just a little humor during these crazy days!!

You risk more financially by not playing. Nebraska sells out every game, so their fans would support, Lincoln, much like Tuscaloosa, is built for football and it would help them more than hurt. Make what you can to offset coaching and scholarship costs.

I don't think any school will allow 100% attendance this year. It will be more like 20-30%. It's better than nothing, but it won't put them in the black.

If P Trump wins his second term, I don't believe he will be putting up with much more lawlessness. No matter what he has to do to quell it.

Anyone seen any numbers on testing costs (with sports and without sports)?

If you're allowing student athletes to practice and use the facilities, don't you still have to test the same amount? Wisconsin AD Barry Alvarez on record with a 20 hour a week schedule for football players.

Somehow practice is still ok? How does this make any sense? How is the NFL allowed to play?

UofSC at 24.6% I believe...Google a Josh Kendall report

About 2-3 hours ago, Ryan Day of OSU was quoted as saying they were “exploring options to play this Fall even though the conference announced otherwise.”
About 10 minutes ago, OSU AD Gene Smith squashes that bug!!!

Somebody will be running stadium steps tomorrow at 6 a.m.

I'd be in support of that except that Nebraska is a long way from the rest of the SEC.

Missouri aint close. Nebraska a little futher
Tuscaloosa to Columbia mo 600miles
Tuscaloosa to Lincoln Nebraska 880

Would be hard to put them in SECe for sure

True, particularly if a good portion of the attendees are band and students.

I've been thinking about this. We know that attendance will be limited at BDS. IMO, I think they should let the students (100%) and at least part of the band attend each game. Spread them out over the entire stadium. Give them assigned seats so that social distancing is adhered to. If there's any room left, spread the tickets out over season ticket holders. It would be a shame if students aren't allowed to cheer their team. Not allowing them in will only cause them to gather in large groups in small spaces to watch.

Why let 100% of the students in now when they haven't in the past?

This isn't what they are considering. It'll be done by seniority.

It will be a mix. The only potential student ticket purchasers that aren't given the opportunity are the freshman who have the option of a split game package.
