re: Breaking news: BIG10 set to revote

Season will start around Oct.10. Per numerous reports by Dave Biddle, RJ Young. 9 votes needed or around 60%.

That's a long way to go from 3 votes to 9. You're definitely not going to get the Michigan schools to vote that way.

Since Indiana and Purdue are in Indiana and Notre dame is playing, also hs and Colts... they'll pass. Penn State will pass, that leaves 3. Wisconsin wants to play ball so that leaves 2. Michigans problem is that nutcase governor so who knows how that will pan out concerning the recent current events. Michigan is planning a parent protest this weekend. S that leaves Minnesota, Illinois, Northwestern, Maryland ( a positive push lately), and Rutgers. I think they will get it.

Supposedly the vote will occur tomorrow, per elevenwarriors.com

Nobody out golfed the affirmative action president and he didn't send his ugly wife and mother-in-law around the world on the taxpayer dime! One of those guys doesn't even take a check. You can guess. F obama.

PennState's director of athletic medicine, Wayne Sebastianelli, says that cardiac MRI scans revealed that roughly 30-35 percent of Big Ten athletes who tested positive for COVID-19 appeared to have myocarditis.

New data helps illustrate what Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren might have meant when he described “too much medical uncertainty and too many unknown health risks” as reasons for postponing the Big Ten’s 2020-21 fall sports season.

During a State College Area school board of directors meeting on Monday night, Wayne Sebastianelli — Penn State’s director of athletic medicine — made some alarming comments about the link between COVID-19 and myocarditis, particularly in Big Ten athletes. Sebastianelli said that cardiac MRI scans revealed that approximately a third of Big Ten athletes who tested positive for COVID-19 appeared to have myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle that can be fatal if left unchecked.

“When we looked at our COVID-positive athletes, whether they were symptomatic or not, 30 to roughly 35 percent of their heart muscles (are) inflamed,” Sebastianelli said. “And we really just don’t know what to do with it right now. It’s still very early in the infection. Some of that has led to the Pac-12 and the Big Ten’s decision to sort of put a hiatus on what’s happening.”

A day before the Big Ten announced its decision to postpone its fall sports season on Aug. 11, ESPN reported that the long-term effects of myocarditis had been discussed in meetings of presidents and chancellors, commissioners and athletic directors, and health advisory board members from the Big Ten and other conferences around the country.

“You could have a very high-level athlete who’s got a very superior VO2 max and cardiac output who gets infected with COVID and can drop his or her VO2 max and cardiac output just by 10 percent, and that could make them go from elite status to average status,” Sebastianelli said. “We don’t know that. We don’t know how long that’s going to last. What we have seen is when people have been studied with cardiac MRI scans — symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID infections — is a level of inflammation in cardiac muscle that just is alarming.”

Clay Travis is reporting the vote will happen either tomorrow or Saturday.

While i don't downplay the -Covid pandemic i am not so sure it is any worse than other coronaviruses like influtenza..... the other conferences also have very qualified physicians and they deemed it ok to play...besides at least give IT A TRY.

Trump bullied them into it. I hate the man, but I'll enjoy his work in this case.

I disagree. They obviously thought they were running shite and that everyone was going to fall in line. That did not happen. The decision was impulsive and would be competitively and financial devastating. Plain and simple.

Wasn’t it just revealed that 0 athletes from the big10 had heart MRI’s?
