It's all very interesting too hearing that everyone "has a source" inside these meetings, which are probably quite small if I'd wager a guess. Wonder if that single source is the same one talking to all these media people? Or maybe Sir Yacht himself is in the room, HA!
B1G Football is BACK! 9 (8+1) Games in 9 Week Window w/ Oct 23/24 Start Date, which is Crucial w/ Dec 19 B1G Title Game & CFP Teams Revealed Dec 20
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Aug 5 (when the 10 game schedule came out) through today has been nothing short of a complete disaster.
Kevin Warren represents the 14 ADs, who all wanted to play. He has failed miserably in decision making and in communicating to coaches/players/parents/fans/the media
The 14 Prezs effectively sign his check though. In business management we call this CYA and wanting to eat. He is a newbie wanting to please all / most all the bosses.
I mean why can't Jimbo Khaki pants get a meeting with the Michigan Prez?
Yes. Rawlings wanted to require freshmen to redshirt their first year. Went over well with Hayden
didn't Hunter want tougher entrance requirements, too., where Hayden wanted to give those borderline kids a chance to get an education?
agreed. it is ridiculous sitting on the sidelines having to watch the SEC, ACC, Big 12 & the freakin' Sun Belt Conferences play
Yesterday was the earliest a vote was expected
It was then reported that the vote should take place today or tomorrow
Now there are reports the vote will happen sometime this week
every report i have seem seems to indicate:
* The vote will pass. Will it be close to unanimous, in order to show unity? That is the remaining question. 9 "yes" votes are required to play ball.
* All 14 teams will be playing
why? its pretty clear the vote will be "yes" and all 14 schools will be playing starting Oct 17

More fake news from unnamed sources. The entire BIG community is getting punked. Not one league statement indicating any of this is actually under consideration.
Its probably not people that have 5-10 years, its probably more like 2-6 months to live. Nice try to keep edging the risk exposure of covid exposure to more and more of the general population instead of being honest.
Its real simple. Those people in the serious risk groups isolate, not the rest of the population. Quit giving some lame emotional comeback asking you want people to die? This is the typical progressive response a question rooted in emotion and no reason.

That’s quite the take...I knew of someone who had battled an illness years ago...but was really fit and active For their age. Had years left at least and it got them. So saying all these people were going to die in six months anyways is quite the statement
yep, Hunter had an ivy league vision for IOWA. Wrong school for him.
Ya everyone has a source. Unless we see something official, I’ll just assume Big Ten football isn’t happening and honestly I’m kinda over it at this point. Play or don’t play, whatever
So someone who has cancer but has recovered, Is currently 55 years old And may have another 30 years to live dies from covid, too bad. Great.
things change daily w/ this virus.
And speaking of days, its been 40 days since the 10 game schedule was announced (Aug 5) and 34 days (Aug 11) since the fall season was suddenly canceled.
That is a lot of lost time. The B1G should have been patient, taking things one day at a time.

This morning on ESPNU radio I believe it's called the 1st team. One of the hosts made a good point. How is the Big 10 didn't vote news. Just make a decision and get back to us then. The other host was saying I think there making progress.
But the longer this goes the more I'm thinking no B1G football this fall.

I'll play, if you can handle blunt clinical reality. If they died from COVID...they were not likely to live another 30 years. Their immune system was significantly compromised. Sad, but true.
People die every day. It sucks, but that’s life. It’s funny how only Covid deaths are important to some people.
college students are getting covid. it would be expected that college football players would get it, too. and guess what? they are getting it, even though they are not playing.
play ball!!
Yep. It really doesn't matter what they do at this point, they've mucked this up so flipping bad. Leadership needs to be changed.
At what point do the schools that want to play move on without the others? Each week that goes by without a vote it's the schools that don't want to play that are winning this battle, because at some point it's going to become too late to start to even be a factor in the fall.
I know it will never happen for obvious reasons but I also really want this to happen. I also selfishly want them to keep all of the revenue and not share it with the schools that insist on mucking everything up and have kept us from playing so far.
Wrong. Perfectly healthy people are dying every day from this, and you're trying to say their immune system is compromised? Simply not true at all.
