Dan Patrick reported during his radio show this morning the Big Ten has voted.
There won’t be a college football season this fall.
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.

The financial implications in AZ will be disastrous since we rely on bowl games as well as booking hotel rooms and eateries being filled with hungry crowds.
I expect the NFL to follow suit soon...............
More time to riot without a future in football.
Same in Florida.....................
The Big Twelve and SEC could and ought to rebuild the NCAA from scratch. The Big East, American and West Coast would probably fall over themselves to join.
A glorified cold virus causes the entire American culture to collapse...at this point it was all made of cardboard anyway.
This is just another little piece collapsing. The country we once knew is never coming back. We are in the midst of a communist revolution, headed by a massive fifth column - the Democrat Party - and backed heavily by China and Iran. All set in motion by a glorified cold virus. But our souls and spirit were horridly degraded and our courage gone. It’s about survival now, we will never be again what we once were.
burn down college football and recreate it as what it’s supposed to be; collegiate athletics.
espn has turned it into it’s greasy, disease ridden, cash spewing prostitute.
CCP-19 brought them to their knees...
Bingo
What are all the fruit-loops in So Cali gonna do w/o a Rose Bowl parade or floats to decorate?
And Michigan won’t lose to Ohio State (again) this year.

>>>> Reform the Southwest Conference! <<<<
I could picture Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, BYU joining the 12-SEC alliance. Boise State?
They were talking about playing this season in the spring...you know after Nov 5th Covid will disappear.
a lot of “issues” with this report- Ohio State, Michigan and reportedly two other schools voted no but are looking at joining the Big 12 this season?
“The bright side is, I’m being taught that sports is completely unimportant.”

It took many decades for me to slowly come to that realization.
Professional sports are irrelevant. We root for them as way of experiencing winning vicariously. You spend all this time trying to be entertained, but you are investing personal sense of self-worth out of something that you have absolutely no effect on. When your team loses, you don’t get the vicarious ego boost. When they win, and they finally win the big tamale, you jump around and shout, then you sit down and as the smile slowly drains off your face, it dawns on you. “Now what?” Because other people won something, and it doesn’t do you one bit of good in the substantial realm, and you avoid acknowledging that you got sucked into a show.
The other aspect of sports that I think is beneficial is the social aspect. Rooting and going to game with friends and family and connecting with people, but there are other ways to connect with people besides attending sporting events.
I just don’t feel much attraction to most of it anymore. I’m not saying it’s all fake like professional wrestling, but it may as well be. There is something so inauthentic to the presentation of sports in our society these days. High production value, low authenticity.
safe bet - if the SEC plays.
If the DemonRats don’t steal the election, might as well go ahead and cancel next season. Otherwise, the virus problem will be over Nov. 4th. January 20th at the latest.
what all of these sports big-wigs fail to realize is that sports fandom is an obsessive, emotionally addictive behavior that produces a synthetic “caring” response, but that it’s a fairly easy addiction to break, namely abstain from “your” sport for a season, finding something else to do with your time in the meantime, and then next season you’ll find yourself not “caring” ...
btw, can you imagine what’s going to happen to the values of high-end sports memorabilia when people quit caring about and/or watching sports?
Funny you should mention that. My wife and I visit all the local ‘Goodwill’, ‘Salvation Army’ and Thrift Shops on weekends.
I usually look thru all the tee-shirts and jerseys, looking mainly for motorcycle themed ones, HD, etc.
Lately I’ve noticed a lot of NFL jerseys that you used to not ever see any!.........Even saw a Tom Brady Pats jersey.............
