Re: Big 10
Appears the reality of BIG BANK has caused some heavy reconsideration by the BIG 10. Without football T V, premium sales and gate money the ensuring potential dollars from T V including bowl games, the collegiate financials get very thin.

Re: Big 10
If the BIG 10 moves forward, the Mountain West, MAC, and the PAC-12 better seriously reconsider.

Re: Big 10
It would be insane for Ohio State's football to be cancelled this year. They are the preseason number one ranked team in many polls from 247sports to Phil Steele. Take precautions, but play on.

Re: Big 10
We definitely should reverse course. We should have never cancelled when we did. We already had postponed the start to 9/26 the conference should have waited like any sane person would and cancel if or when issues arose.

Re: Big 10
Since you brought up lawsuits my Aggie brother, I can see it now, when the six conferences pull it off and COMPLETE their seasons and the VERY SAME PAC-12 players that tried to pull the jack move when they listed all those ridiculous demands, now file suit claiming that the PAC-12 jeopardized their DRAFT STATUS and endangered their ability for FUTURE EARNINGS by NOT PLAYING.ratofallaggies wrote: ↑August 28th, 2020, 11:48 amAnd add that the commissioner has been caught with his pants down by all the FOIA requests, lawsuits, and parent protests that he's trying to save face.

Re: Big 10
Would be amazing if they reversed course. One question I have for USU and the MW in particular: Can the programs sustain a season where there are no/severely limited fans in the stands? I would guess USU would take a big loss financially if this happens, but unknown if that loss would be bigger than a complete lack of football and TV revenue.

Re: Big 10
I believe school presidents have little personal money to lose, and certainly tort attorneys who advised the decision makers at the schools have little to lose except "billable hours" for their opinions. Mt view is the cancellation of the football season in various conferences was a rush to the life boats.Aggie84025 wrote: ↑August 28th, 2020, 11:26 amWe definitely should reverse course.

What’s even more odd is late November is the start of flu season where-as one could argue that early fall is a much better time to play due the colder months being a time that the flu and likely Covid are more present.

Re: Big 10
Anyone with teams in or near Seattle, Portland and California will not have those teams playing this year. I mean the only acceptable thing to go out and do right now in these places is buy alcohol, smoke pot and riot (obviously some exaggeration here). In all seriousness I don’t see west coast teams being allowed to let this happen. But hope I’m wrong.

Re: Big 10
This is so depressing for me. Watching high school ESPN from the state of Utah. There is no reason the MW could not have made it work this fall. At a minimum we didnt need to cancel right now. Now we have to see BYU as the only team in the west play football and none of their players lose eligibility while gaining more experience. Just a flat out mess that could have been handled better.

Re: Big 10
Looks like they're looking at indoor venues in Indy, Minneapolis and Detroit. Maybe doubleheaders in all three cities, with a Friday night game to make seven for the 14 teams (my surmise, not the article's.)
Competing with the NFL playoffs might be a bigger issue.
Nobody here knows anything.

Re: Big 10
CDC updated their numbers last week (quietly) and say of the 180k people listed as with Covid the reason of death in the US. Only 9k died solely of Covid.
If this is accurate, then these kids who are healthy with no underlying health issues should be allowed to play.

Re: Big 10
I also wonder if the not playing until after Thanksgiving is because most schools are going remote after the break. This would mean their teams would be in a little more like a bubble atmosphere without as many students on campus.
