short, they made this decision based on a load of horseshite.

Of course they did.

They couldn't afford to cancel Fall semester so athletics was their sacrificial lamb. It was ALL political.

But if it’s between: playing a few games, having an outbreak, and shutting it down - or not starting, I’d rather not even start.

Well this is a losers mentality

It didn’t make sense. They said 5 players tested positive for some heart condition related to virus infections. They implied it was COVID related.

All they had to do was test those 5 players for COVID antibodies. All 5 players test positive... they have a case. All 5 test negative then they are idiots. Not sure why fans, schools that wanted to play, etc... didn’t demand this immediately. Supposedly those 5 players were the determining factor.

My thoughts

They decided not to play. Than said go find or make up something to justify not playing.

Similar to many news outlets that find or make up whatever they want to fit their narrative.

I hope all those moving forward keep the course, work through whatever obstacles and BS takes place by those that do not want them to succeed. The big 10 will look like fools even more so than they do now. Many of their players, families and fans are not pleased.

I read a New York Times article yesterday about with the Big 10 cancelling football/fall sports it could hurt Trump in the election because Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are swing states and winner of Ohio usually wins election. It got me thinking that Big 10 University Presidents maybe more left leaning like Pac 12. If you look at just the region of the Big 10 how many blue states are there compared to the SEC & ACC? They probably cancelled because of liability but the article makes you wonder.
Covid sadly was made political from the beginning. And College Football may suffer from it. Personally, I say let them play. Have them sign a waiver stating university is Not Liable if player gets Covid. Ohio High School Football is still going in some areas. Not Columbus area. They play 6 games then playoffs. Players/Parents had to sign a waiver. So why not Ohio State football? Yes it pisses me off that Big 10 postponed the season. Because it won't be happening in the spring. I know a lot of Big 10 fans that are mad that they postponed the season. A petition is already going around for the firing of Commissioner Warren.
