So 53 players available for SEC, while Big 10 says 5/6 with covid and team can't play for two weeks, right? And then Sankey says teams can decide on own to play anyway. Quite a difference between SEC, Big 10. It's almost like Big10 has failure to play built in, while SEC has non failure to play built in:)

Sounds like Sankey making sure we get to play. This will be huge for the SEC.

Looking like our lines are taking a lot of the COVID casualties. Not ideal if we are starting the season with 60. At this pace the only way we have a game is if Bama let’s us borrow a few players like a slow pitch softball league or Drink just says bring it and walks into the flames with 5ish scholarship OL.

Don't like the no contest thing, should be a forfeit.
What happens if Missouri can't play Bama and Bama then goes 8-1 and let's say A&M goes 9-1, but loses to Bama.
A&M has a better record and better win percentage and goes to the SEC Championship Game and Bama doesn't because Missouri couldn't field a team.

Anyone that thinks the big ten didn't put those damn near impossible standards in to purposely blow their season up is fooling themselves. If it blows up now they can say they tried and claim to be correct with initially cancelling the season. By that point backlash will fall on deaf ears in terms of playing this season as they didn't leave any room for error with scheduling. I give them credit for trying to fool us all yet again. Hope this blows up in their face as well.

Who's administering and monitoring the tests? Do they have to report all tests given and their results to the Big 10 or some other body? Because if I'm a coach and had a player who'd already contracted COVID and not obligated to report my tests to anyone, I may decide not to test those guys again and tell the Big 10 to frick off. How would anyone ever know whether or not programs are following protocol? It's just amazing to me that these conferences are basically telling us the current CDC guidelines are dumb when they treated the previous guidelines as the gospel a few months ago....until they weren't as severe as they wanted them to remain. Contact tracing will ruin their season. It just blows my mind that a negative test result isn't enough to show someone isn't sick and able to play

didn't the bare win a couple of SEC titles back in the day because he scheduled one more conference game than the rest? bama and some other school would have ONE loss but, the tide had ONE more win because of extra SEC game.
bama and mizzou have a common open date the first saturday in november. they could possibly make it up then.
