In a tweeted response to news earlier today that Big10 officials were working on a football schedule that could have teams playing in January:
"Good to see that the terrible myocarditis risk that prevents games from starting September 26 will vanish by early January."

The myocarditis shite was just a dumb Hail Mary that went like this one:

Cecil gives zero fricks. I’ve long liked his work

Also, don't start in August when it is hot because of a virus. Start in January during the peak cold/flu season.

They don’t really think they can/will play in the winter or spring. They just want to make everybody think they will so other conferences will be pressured to cancel their fall seasons. B1G is terrified to be left behind if other conferences play this fall.

Damn, that's a terrible pass. Was that Chad Pennington? It sure as hell looks like his arm.

Truth. But we all understand that they aren't going to play. They are pretending to be ignorant so they wouldn't have massive transfers. Which is fricked up in itself.
Our FCS schools will have a much easier time because this is a division wide agreement and we'll have something to play for.
The frick is the Big 10 and Pac 12 going to play for? The right to play Toledo and Boise St in a pretend playoff?

The big ten and the PAC, which always follows them, jumped the gun on this cancellation. The season can be cancelled at any time, if conditions warrant such action. They both cancelled way too early. The big ten did not expect this reaction they have received from their fanbase and their players.
Twitter world has rumors that the big ten would love to reverse course but they would receive even more heat if they did that. So there they sit, they cancelled their season, pissed off their fans and players but they can always blame the SEC.

They honestly thought the held enough clout that the other conferences would follow their lead. When we didn't, their fans and many players revolted and now they're scrambling around trying to look busy gearing up for winter football.

They have no intention of playing in the Spring. That carrot dangling is their only chance of fewer player transfers and recruit decommits. No carrot, no chance.

This is a legitimate question, and I'd love to see an official response as to how football or any event could move forward if that was their legitimate concern.
This year we shut down in March, right?
Are they claiming to be waiting on a foolproof vaccine? What if that doesn't pan out by then, or even in time for next season?

Michigan governor will shut it down again in spring.

November games are cold enough that only liquor keeps me staying the game. I'm no weatherman but February is much colder than November. Maybe I'll go to the last game in March in the 8 game season. What a joke.

I believe the folks that were saying it had nothing to do with COVID and everything to do with the players organizing and demanding compensation. Shut down football and it's a moot point that will maybe go away and get lost in the bigger news of the day like a vaccine, the election, etc.
