Well, I guess that's the risk these human beings will have to choose to face or not face if they want to play sports at the next level..........
Time to stop letting the poor choices of a few ruin things for everyone.
Deal with it.
B1G, SEC & PAC-12 will have 10-game, League-only Schedules. ACC? 10 +1; Big 12? 9+1
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date

I am honestly sick and tired of the constant, "wait until we get to x date to make a decision." I am aware that without a vaccine this is impossible, but I wish they would just announce that games will be pushed back to the spring. I just know in early August - a month before the season is supposed to start, they will crush everyones dreams yet again.
In looking at the four East division teams that Iowa doesn't currently have on the 2020 schedule (Indiana, Maryland, Rutgers, Michigan), all four currently have conference schedules with 5 home/4 road, so any one of those teams could be candidates to come to Iowa for the 10th conference game for the Hawks (IF there is a season)
Of course, ISU fans will start claiming the Big 10 is doing this on purpose in order to deny ISU a victory over Iowa.
And we already know how bad its gonna be in 5-6 months......................
I hope I am wrong but I just don’t see the big ten having a season at all. Again I hope I am wrong.

I think reading the Big Ten’s comments it’s pretty clear there will not be football this fall...has anyone noticed there is no plan announced about anything just...”details coming soon”. The season starts in just over 5 weeks!
this is just like hosting March Madness with no fans, kicking the can down the road for two or three weeks.

I’m hearing that Pollard is organizing a field storm at Trice to celebrate their victory.
They already have lol. Twins thinks we are scared to play the CryClowns at Kinnick, with one of the nations best defenses and improved offense. CryClown fans are the best lol.
I'd rather they wait on the 2% chance some miracle treatment comes along in the next month. Better to be 98% sure there's no season right now than 100%.
Posts like that make no sense. This is not an Iowa decision. At the same time, Iowa is not use to having a great CFP team like Iowa State come to Kinnick. What a joke of a fan base
Whats he smoking? Interesting, yes some years, but its sure as hell no where near as important as conference games....
Not a forfeit, its been removed from the schedule. Its a non event at this point. I can see clone fans taking this stance though, and years from now claiming that 2020 was the year they finally broke the streak..Why should ISU fans complain if Iowa forfeits the game this year?
Not sure if it's been officially announced but our mods are saying Michigan @ Iowa is our 10th game
Forgive me if I’ve missed it somewhere, but is the Hawkeye’s first game against the Gophers, same date, and then the (possible) Michigan game is moved into a bye week somewhere or now the last game of the season?
I'm a Michigan fan so don't know the details of how your schedule will work week to week....I actually don't know the details of ours either....just reading that our 10th gane will be @Iowa....assuming there is a season of course
I could see adding Michigan and replacing PSU with Indiana if they try and keep things as geographic as possible. I bet there is a new schedule.
Wouldn't an undefeated B1G Champion be 10-0, not 8-0?
Also, the BCS no longer exists.
Furthermore, as you will see on page 3, the PAC 12 is heading to conference games only as well.
That post, again:

As you can see in the orig post, a 10 game conference only schedule was first reported on June 17. Here we are, 22 days later. This is anything but new; they've been planning on this for a while.
From that June 17 report: Decisions are still a couple weeks away, but the momentum for conference-only schedules is real. Multiple sources have indicated the Big Ten is looking at the possibility of a 10-game, league-only slate.
As I stated in post #105 on Page 3, with the nonconference games being canceled, per the contracts, Iowa will not owe UNI and ISU anything.
Northern Illinois? Not sure at the moment.
(The current plan) Same conference schedule plus one game.....michigan @ Iowa....I'm not making this up, speculating, guessing, etc. This is what is being reported....if the reporters got bad info then they are wrong....but don't over think it....

I think your mods probably got a good tip. On this site if Tom or Blair report something like that it usually ends up happening. Thanks for the info.
We just played mi last year, that would be b2b years and 3rd in 5 years while playing IN and md once in 5 years?
That would make zero sense.....
I am wondering if this (something similar) will be the new schedule. Or will they try to start on Sep 5, which gives them wiggle room if there are outbreaks?
