re: Doyel: Big Ten swings and misses on a brand-damaging Monday, looking dumb and weak

The Big Ten has consistently done more to hold back college athletics than any other conference. The fact that at least one of their schools (Wisconsin) refused to allow their senior spring athletes reclaim eligibility after the COVID cancellation shows you how they feel about student athletes and the collegiate athletics in general.

Then you add the fact that the BIG10 has opposed legislation that would greatly benefit college baseball (paid 3rd coach, added scholarships, temporary roster relief for COVID) and the BIG10 has painted itself as anything but a conference looking to improve the game.

Consider this - G5 conferences who are much weaker financially than the BIG10 supported the legislation of allowing a 3rd paid baseball assistant. The key part is ALLOW - nobody was going to be forced to hire a 3rd paid coach but it allowed the freedom to do so. Many G5 conferences in the South was for this because they realize that this helps build the game and develop great coaches who can then help their program. The BIG 10 on the other hand said "if we can't afford it then you can't hire an extra coach - that would be unfair!"

Then you have these recent events where the BIG10 tried to get all the P5s to join them in an attempt to take down college football... seriously. Now they are crawfishing because their coaches, players, and general public opinion is ripping them a new one. Maybe COVID will eventually cause the cancel of college football but it's too damn early to throw in the towel like little bitches. The fact that my Razorbacks came out in favor of playing the season in spite of our suckage and liklihood of 0-10 shows you how limp wristed the BIG 10 is. Some bucknut will say "her der dey need money" nah mfer we might suck at football but we are doing pretty good financially. Of course no football would hurt us like it would hurt anyone but we would survive. We just aren't bitches like ya'll are in the rust belt. Bitch 10 ----yeah that sounds about right.

Sorry for the rant. Have a great week - GO HOGS!
