The big ten - sitting out the season

I know they keep talking about starting up but a vote to do that has not happened. What is the long-term fallout from losing a year of football?? Forget the spring thing, I don't believe that will happen. Losing a year of football can set them back, I don't see how it can't. What are the recruiting ramifications?? Guys not playing a year, what about their football skills?? I haven't mentioned the financial hit, who knows how deep that will be. If you don't play I assume there is no TV money.
The PAC, the others to fold up, barely plays football as it is. They don't draw at the gate and they don't draw TV ratings. No one is going to miss them much. It would not surprise me to see PAC program/programs revamp their college athletics rather drastically.

I don't think the sport will ever be the same. I'm afraid we'll see CFB further become a regional sport that is completely Southeast-centric. Ohio State and a few big programs that sit out this season will eventually come back, but I'm not sure how programs like Cal, Oregon State, Purdue, Northwestern, etc. ever recover.

The financial hit will be catastrophic. Ohio State, for example, stands to lose $130+ million. That would kill a lot of programs.

I’ve been visiting the forums of the strongest teams in the Big X and the PAC, Ohio State and Oregon, and there is a strong difference in the attitudes toward the football shutdown. OSU fans are furious and some seem ready to bolt from the Big X. Oregon fans accept it and actually seem to think that shutting down was the right thing to do.

What you’re witnessing is our society falling beneath a certain competency threshold for society to properly function. There’s no reason to not have football this year....yet it’s happening. There’s no reason to shut down society and shutter all the small businesses....yet it’s happening.

It will forever change the landscape of college sports if they actually sit out the season. Even if the play at this point the effect of this will be felt in recruiting for many years. Thats not even considering the effect on the non revenue sports. It's great for us though.

everyone remembers the SMU death penalty...the PAC has basically vote to give that to themselves

The Attorney General of Ohio has advised OSU to file a lawsuit against the B1G.

I think its just stubbornness at this point. They dont want to backtrack on their decision. But man do they look stupid not playing when teams like South Alabama, Texas State, Georgia Southern, etc. are somehow managing

I'm hoping that losing a year gets rid of all the loser sports no one watches like men gymnastics, baseball and soccer so we can start paying football players a fair salary and a lump sum upon graduation. If football pays the bill so these white privilege sports can exist, then football players need to be paid to so.
