The Big Ten should be absolutely embarrassed by how this has all played out. It's unbelievable to me an organization with this much money/lawyers/power etc can continue to trip over their own d*cks day after day after day. You look like a little league organization with no leadership. No guidance. Nothing. It's really quite something and it really does make me believe Kevin Warren is purposefully trying to make the Big Ten look horrible.
It is a joke. With so much stuff being leaked to folks like Dan Patrick and now to Dennis Dodd, it seems like there are basically no-play factions of the conference and play factions of the conference. Neither Dodd or Patrick just make stuff up. And both sides leak to preferred media members to push their agendas. The Big 10 as an organization is currently dysfunctional on this issue. When you have differing sides hashing it out via their media proxies instead of actually talking through things, it's bad.
I never thought it would get to the place where OSU for example would want to leave the conference. But stuff like this might make them consider it. If they did, the conference as a whole would be on the road to destruction.
While I agree that there certainly appears to be clear division on this issue and probably even some bad blood, there is very little chance that any school will exit the league over a majority vote to postpone one season of football. To describe the conference situation as possibly being on the "precipice of collapse" is hysterical. Not even close.I made mention of this several weeks ago and people laughed that suggestion off.
We just might be on the precipice of the Big Ten collapsing all together.
What a sad situation.
Other legit sources are saying it's still happening. Ole Dennis has been wrong plenty also. It's just a total shit show right now Maybe the leader of the Conference should address all of this and be transparent?Buh buh buh "sir yachtsman," lol.
So the state of Michigan is going to allow high school football starting Sept 17th

They would fold their entire athletic department and never play sports again, if I had my f***ing way.........Where would f0$u go? Become the 16th ACC team?

Well Mel Tucker said the same thing and he would never lieJim Harbaugh is an idiot and eats his boogers. I need another source.

Michigan’s Governor is not up for re-election in November and the polls show Biden and Gary Peters solidly ahead in the state 🤷🏻♂️Of course it does. It means the polls say they'd better play football in Michigan, or the governor and her party are in trouble come November! LOL

not everything is politics

And Trump won Michigan in 2016. You think it ain't close there I am going to say you are wrong.
Joe wanted to play it as Trump's ineptitude kept the people from being able to enjoy football. Greedy Gretchen wants to help dirty Joe.
This all comes from a lack of clear leadership in the conference office. Warren may not have had a vote, but he has certainly failed miserably in leading the conference as its front man....The has been an absolute shit show from the beginning and there is no other way to slice it.
There has been conflicting stories on every different aspect of the situation and it's making the BIG look more pathetic by the day.

And Indiana's governor is a republican, while Purdue's president is a republican former state governor, who coincidently happened to appoint Indiana U's current President to a position while he was in office.Michigan’s Governor was one of the 3 VP candidate finalists and is the National co-chair of the Biden campaign. There will be a place for her in a Biden administration. I’m not saying it’s political - but her preference on athletics and gatherings have been clear and neither UM nor MSU can afford politically to make enemies with State funding right now.

I don't believe that for a second. No way 13-1 vote would keep the B1G off the field. And I don't believe him threatening to forfeit all M's games would do it, either, as the pressure would be too much once the rest of the schools gave the go ahead.
yeah, I don't think it would play out like that whatsoever . A short term gain would not make up for the long term losses. You don't just create a conference and expect to immediately have a BTN type network handing you 50 plus million a year per participantComplete speculation here...but could OSU and Iowa and say about 8 other teams form a new conference? In the near term they would need to replace a huge revenue stream that they now get from the B10...but by next year they could be back up, or even higher, than this year.
