Big 10 ded.

Will sec and ACC play anyway?

 

[txsting]

i doubt it

Kudos to the Big Ten for making the right call and putting lives above money. No chance football goes on this fall without them. Looks like it's spring football!

 

[76tornados]

They still haven't officially announced until tomorrow. So don't go telling everyone. LOL

 

[cincyjacket]

I think the other power conferences will follow suit.

 

[Diseqc]

PAC12 will no doubt. I bet the other 3 try to make it.

 

[GoGATech]

2nd thread on this and it's not "official" until tomorrow. I guess there's a chance something could happen between now and then.

Let Big 10 / Pac 12 drink the koolaid and off themselves while the rest of the P5 laughs it off and stays the course.

Bad look if ACC bitches out and SEC plays

Good grief. Not much for hyperbole huh?

What hyperbole? A fall football season would've caused scores of deaths within America. Better to postpone to spring.

How many threads and posts do we need on something that isn't official yet

So they told the athletes to prepare for a season. They made big announcements about changing their schedules. They rolled out a revised schedule for a Big 10 only slate of games - safe for Maryland to play Nebraska but not, let's say, Towson. They brought the athletes back to campus for workouts, exposing them to one another's potential carrying of COVID-19. And now, we are willing to praise this conference because it obviously cares about lives more than money. I don't buy it.

It'd be a really bad look for the SEC if they're the only conference playing

Watch and see if that indeed happens. They'll be put on an even higher pedestal than they already are.

 

[JJacket]

Hell, I'd go see us scrimmage at this point.

I think they're just adjusting to the evolving health situation; it was always a wait-and-see sort of deal. Covid surged in the summer and it's looking increasing likely there'll be a vaccine by year's end or early next year.

It's probably naive of me to suggest it's more about lives and not about money in some way, but regardless I think this is the right decision given the pandemic's status.
