Patrick said a source told him that the Big Ten and Pac-12 will cancel their seasons on Tuesday. He said he learned the Big 12 and ACC are “on the fence,” and that the SEC is trying to get the other teams to join them for a season this fall.

The Big Ten presidents voted 12-2 to not play this fall. Patrick said only Nebraska and Iowa voted to play.

At most major schools, football pays for the rest of the athletic programs.

:: The Big Ten presidents voted 12-2 to not play this fall. ::

The teams had too many inconsequential white players whose lives didn’t really matter.
Now, let’s sit back and see who get matriculated out for academic performance?

It also subsidizes the Marxist indoctrination.

If the CDC said that, the Ohio and Michigan National Guards would have been called out to shoot violators in the street.

You mean we should walk around with 10 foot aluminum poles to shunt lightning and forget about the masks?
Do we get to shame ‘cronos’ for not carrying a ground-pole?

Take off the mask and grab your pole!

I fear you are correct. Lots of gutless administrators. If this happens, there is a silver lining; it means a major financial hit for these useless anti-US factories

However, players want to play because they know there is miniscule danger for them.

I’ve never seen such idiocy, because there has never been.

I do not recall this happening in ‘09 with the H1N1 (Swine Flu) pandemic.

If their schools are doing virtual classes, which many are, they have to cancel. The last nail in the fiction of the student-athlete would be forcing the athletes to show up while the students stay home. Pretty much at that point they have to admit the whole thing is a sham and pay them.

Heard Rick and Bubba on the Radio this morning talking about this. They are big SEC guys, but said that they wouldn’t want to expose their loved ones to any possible Covid-19 for the sake of football...........
