Big ten is playing the long con

The rest might be true but aren’t playing in the spring

frick dem damn carpet baggin' yankee sumbitches!

I mean if the fall season gets cancelled within a few games they’ll just attempt to move to the spring....


The whole problem with the big tens position is they didn’t even try. No one is guaranteeing the protocols and plans to play in the fall will work. There’s a lot of unknown factors. But you won’t know until you try. Until covid is completely eliminated, which will likely be years, every season will carry some element of risk

Agree. BIG’s failure to ‘try” and throw in the towel so early is what will be seen as their biggest sin.

If the P3 can pull this off, the hard core BIG fan base will mutiny against the Powers That Be.

Can't see anyone playing in the spring.

Spring ball is unlikely. There is no particular reason to think things will be significantly different in the spring than they are now, and it may be worse. If there is a vaccine by the end of the year, it still will not likely be available in quantities that would allow football. The vaccine will go first to health care workers and high risk folks, and that would be unlikely to include athletes. It may be more toward next summer before the vaccine is widely available to the general population, if not later. And we will not even know how effective the vaccine actually is for a while after it is available. Flu season will be in full swing in the early part of next year, which will not make matters easier as to COVID. If colleges don’t play in the fall, they are not likely to play in the spring either.

Wisconsin vs Michigan in January in Madison. Wind chill in the negative teens, field cleared of 18 inches of snow just before game time, field frozen solid and slicker than owl shite. Yeah, they have the player's best interests at heart.
