It's official: Big 10 to postpone, attempt to restart in spring

[Mean Purple]

So if the Big10 and Pac12 have spring games, then what happens in the fall of 2021? It would seem that either you play with the rest of the P5 group or u have to wait until next fall. There would be no playoffs or championship. How’s this really going to work for them especially if the 3 other P5 conferences play this fall?

They are not playing in the spring. If they play again before next fall, it would only be if they reversed course and played this fall. The whole spring claim is just cover. And just doing 4 or 5 games in the Spring and then 7 or 8 in the fall would not work well.

right about now, someone in Columbus is running new financial numbers. then the fun begins.

Warren is full of [ Cumbie’s red zone playcalling ]. He is now feeling serious pressure. You can bet he convinced those school presidents that all other conferences would shut down. Now they are getting heat like they have never seen and he knows they are gonna come looking for his head on the bcrat platter. If just one of the P5 conference puts foot to ball and starts off the season, he's royally screwed.

Starting the season is great, but FINISHING it will be the key. If it starts and then shuts down they'll all just do a celebratory "we told you so!".

Better to try and put the effort in, than do the easy thing and cancel.

That's what I keep saying. We are not out of the woods yet. Democrats have an election to win, and its a lot harder for them to continue to make their case that this virus is so deadly we need indefinite shutdowns, mask wearing, no political campaign rallies, and universal mail in voting. Democrats will fight tooth and nail to make sure we have no college football played

That's why there needs to be 100% commitment from all schools to just ignore all the noise and push through, obviously unless things get totally out of control. And by totally out of control, I don't mean an outbreak of cases on a team.

Football being played will be a huge step back towards normality, and a big blow to the "Lockdown Forever" crowd.

To quote old time movie if they just play five games "At least they gave it the old college try"

Friendly reminder. This is a graph of how full the Dallas hospitals were during the great "COVID Surge" of July 2020.

And, it would be terrible if the players in the conferences that start burn a year of eligibility while those in leagues that never play do not.

Who he?

Big 10 Commish. He actually said that if Nebraska plays FB, that cannot do it as a member of the Big 10.

I posted this in the Covid thread

IMO, the Big10/PAC12 are going to look like complete idiots

Welcome huskers. Love to see Ohio State say they were contemplating something else, even just to remind the big ten commish who actually holds which end of the leash.

is this just faux outrage or are they seriously thinking about bolting?

They have not accomplished [ Finebaum ] in the B1G to date.

Curious if there are any bylaws in their agreement on this topic or is he is just spouting BS?

Big East has now joined the lemmings jumping off the cliff.
