I don't know how you guys/gals feel. But for me, the shutting down the Big Ten is absolutely coordinated. I am even more convinced with the Biden/Harris ad coming out yesterday blaming PDT's "mismanagement" of the Corona virus as being responsible for the cancellation of football. Isn't it just amazing when you look at the representation of the Big Ten: Pennsylvania (Penn State), Ohio (Ohio State), Michigan (Spartans and Wolverines), Minnesota (Golden Gophers), Wisconsin (Badgers), Iowa (Hawkeyes). It might as well be called the Swing State Conference. And now the rumbling of talks considering kicking off three weeks after the election?

The President of the University of Michigan, is a Medical Doctor who is totally into the shut down of college football, he’s also a major ally of Gretchen Whitmer the Governor of Michigan, so yes it’s absolutely a coordinated effort....to shut down football to hurt Trump...

The SEC, ACC and Big12 will poach Pac12 and Big10 and casual fans this fall, driving up ratings for those conferences.

By January only Big10 fans will be watching because sports fans will be moving on to watching college basketball conference play.

The Big10 screwed this up bad.

If it means kneeling during the National Anthem, wearing BLM badges and crapping on the field—then NO THANKS. I don;t need to see asses showing their asses. Keep your garbage in your own backyard. I have a cookout to attend to.

What do you people want to watch it so bad for? Even if they play they are going to insult you in every way the left currently insults you. Are you masochists?

I know giving up an addiction is difficult, but rest assured, that giving up watching sports is healthy for you.

Let em sit.
They have all the time in the world to kneel then.

Maybe the “students” will actually go to class.

The Big 10 commissioner is a major BLM supporter. Affirmative Action hires have consequences.

I love Big Ten football. If they dare take a knee or have any tribute to BLM, I’m out.

Fans, and voters, know shutting down the Big 10 is a political move in an effort to hurt Trump. What it has done is served as a catalyst to get Trump supporters to the polls.

All political. After the election. Biden has a political ad out blaming the shutdown of football on Trump. The Big 10 Commissioner hates Trump and wants him defeated.

Perfect timing for the first national outbreak of seasonal influenza!

Many high schools in Ohio played football last night and tonight, but Ohio State can’t play? Makes no sense to me. There’s a rally taking place in Columbus today against the shutdown, led by parents of the players.

Gestapo Gretchen won’t allow it. Ohio State was leading the effort to try to salvage some kind of Fall season but Fuehrer Whitmer is dead set against it and will not allow Michigan or Michigan State to play and the Big 10 is hosed without them. She has bragged about getting the Big 10 season shut down.

That’s why Trump calling for the Big 10 to play this Fall was a master stroke in last night’s speech. The fans in several key swing states are going to be nuclear pissed when they watch the Big 12, SEC and ACC playing....not to mention high schools and pro teams and even colleges in their own states (Iowa State, Cincy, Pitt) while they are not allowed to. This could very easily have a big political impact in those states.

Huge egg on face of Big 10. They thought they’d be the “leaders” of protecting the poor football teams by pulling the plug first with all other conferences to follow...but oh, wait, sorry. COVID=POLITICS

Maybe when they start fairly recruiting white kids I’ll care.
