most universities in democrat states with tyrant governors
no they won't
democrats always know what's best for you!Comment -
strict governor has a say so, so noComment -
Virtually half of these schools are football programs that teach as a side gig, they will inevitably close if they try to sustain two seasons without all the money Sports generatesComment -
I don't know if the big 10 will reverse their decision, but does anyone else find it ironic that the big 10 commissioner (Kevin Warren) is letting his son (Powers Warren) play football at Mississippi State this fall?Comment -
Baseball proved playing at own arenas can be done with some outbreaksComment -
I would even bother testing the players
Positive test only give the democrats reasons to complainComment -
Yale University invented a saliva test that could get those big ten pussies minds changedComment -
tried to tell you guys to ditch testing months ago
colossal waste of time and resourcesComment -
Man, hell no. I went to a big ten school. They aren’t playing this petition crap. This is where the players find out they have zero flex. The players should say, I refuse to play in the spring and will just leave to the NFL and see what they say. Go on strike or something. The schools won’t bat an eyelash.
Schools are playing the long game and they can afford to. There are 1000’s of kids that won’t go to the NFL or are fringe guys overall that will play for a Big ten scholarship, roof and food. Period. Even the dog piss programs can parade some bums out there in the spring. That degree could be worth more than getting cut for sneaking in pussy to the undrafted dorm.Comment -
don't see them reversing cause if one kid dies that will be a disasterComment -
serious question if you are a top tier guy at Mich St., Purdue, etc. wouldn't you want to transfer?
you sit the first year but you get to practice and learn the team plays while you redshirt.
Clemson, Oklahoma etc. will be twice as nasty after playing all year while Wisconsin regresses to dogshitComment -
They could. Might make sense. It’s basically Ohio State and everyone else anyway in the Big Ten so half these kids should transfer. These schools just can’t afford for that lone anomaly to happen where some obese kid that they fattened up further to play ball gets sick and dies.Comment -
So did U of Illinois. Testing all students twice weekly. https://news.uillinois.edu/view/7815/1904934500Comment -
While I agree that many universities are football programs with teaching side gigs, the big ten is a different beast. I think other conferences/programs have greater risk. Big Ten will hammer the other sports mostly and long term weaken enrollment. Michigan and Ohio State aren’t closing though. If Michigan State didn’t go down for their abuse scandals they will survive this.
Endowment numbers per student/university makes it the strongest financial conference outside of Ivy League. Either way, I totally get your point... and donations and contributions will significantly go down if you are trying to get people back for Men’s Rowing over Football. They shouldn’t have cancelled outright. Should have kept moving the goal posts (no pun intended).Comment -
We are seeing colleges jumped the gun too quick
Big 10 might look like losersComment -
It's all about money and politics at this point, not football or health...
If you're a president of a state university, you want to have a good relationship with your governor.
The governor has some say in how the dollars get allocated to schools throughout the state.
Just look at the conferences that are playing and those that are postponing...Comment -
These kids will be safer on campus and playing football. With no football, most will take a gap year and stay home. They will be at parties all the time while home and will get corona anyways.Comment -
Just wait until Alabama announces eight starters out against LSU.Comment -
They might be safer on campus BUT the Universities are at a huge risk while they are on campus. If you are a university president, do you want to assume the risk of any student, let alone a student athlete, dying or infecting a relative that dies? I’m not so sure I would assume that risk.Comment -
Exactly. It is all about Liability. The Universities do not want to risk the chance of a death involving or caused by one of their athletes contacting and/or passing the Covid-19 virus to another person. The Universities know full well that a large majority of their athletes do NOT belong in college to begin with, and are at best STUPID. They show no self control. Why risk a huge lawsuit so a bunch of kids can rehearse for a pro career?Comment -
Big 10 and PAC 12 will end up looking good and proactive when all is said and done. SEC, BIG 12, and ACC are just waiting until the last minute. When these campuses fill up with ignorant college students infecting everyone in their wake no one will be on campus or in stadiums or on the field. Curious as to why the Yale saliva test cant be used to play other fall sports since its the end all be all for football. If it can help get football on the field it should also help complete a volleyball season too. Or any fall sport. I find it hard to believe that only football can push through to be played when all of the scholarship athletes are about same age With less risk factors.Comment -
A lot of football players will die or have permanent lung and heart damage. The sport demands a lot of cardio training that the virus will attack.Comment -
UNC here just shut the dorms due to four clusters of covid.All online for the fall.Could be a small but crucial step for the ACC to cancel down the roadComment -
Of course Fields wants to play the 2020 season. Look at his schedule. The only decent team they were scheduled to play was cancelled due to Covid-19. Fields is worthless. He could not even make it in the SEC, instead running away from those defenses to play wit a team that had the softest schedule in the nation. Fields draft value as a QB is worthless and he knows it. He wants another year to prove that he is better than his two INT game against Clemson that cost Ohio State the Fiesta Bowl in 2019. He wants to get as much money as he can before he is run out of the NFL.Comment
