Big 10 ded.

If this happens we need to attack, attack, attack the transfer portal. Atlanta is home to a ton of those young men. Make the NCAA come to terms with its hypocrisy when they can't justify mass-denial-of-waivers.

Their hypocrisy goes only so far.
 
Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, seems to be one of the primary reasons the BIG 10 might cancel. They have several players who tested positive for COVID-19 who now have this heart problem. It can cause blood clots, heart attacks or strokes. There's a suggested 3 to 6 months without exercise suggested for those with the condition.

Brings to mind the sudden collapse of Loyola Marymount's Hank Gathers back in 1990.

Why any school would run the risk especially with those who have had COVID-19 of letting someone on the field too early or unknowingly and they die because of a heart weakened by COVID-19?

Team deaths are hard enough from which to recover. It's worse DURING a season.

This is just a game. It's not worth some parent having to bury their 18, 19, 20, 21 year old kid IMO.

Cardiologist just said that was fake news. Was he lying?
 
E$PN reporting a 3PM Big 10 news conference for the official announcement
 
I don't have a problem with them deciding not to play. It's a legit tough call, IMO. That said, their statement preemptively throws conferences who attempt to play under the bus, and I am sure that is the intent.

So will any teams try to go rogue and play games with another conference this season? Will players be allowed to transfer out and play immediately elsewhere?

The long term effects of this are going to be interesting, could be the restructuring that college football needed.
 
My brother contracted myocarditis a few years ago. He still has diminished health and it will likely affect him the rest of his shortened life.
