Each team will attempt to play eight games in eight weeks, leaving no wiggle room during the coronavirus pandemic before the Big Ten championship game on Dec. 19. That date will also feature an extra cross-division game for each school, with seeded teams in each division squaring off.

“the Pac-12 is next ...”

doesn’t have the same electoral considerations as the Big 10 so I don’t think Trump will bother.

PAC 12 is going to play this fall for a variety of reasons. Newsom and Brown have already told the PAC 12 schools in their state they can play.

After threatening to kick Nebraska out for challenging this, they agree to play.

I hate 2020

Should be good in Nebraska, too. Probably won’t have much impact in Big10 powerhouse states Mary Land or New Jersey.

But later he asked what Trumps impact was to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports

And of course Thames replies “I don’t think it had any impact”

Not surprising, what a yahoo

FWIW, the parents were threatening to sue.

I can think of a lot of reason why most, if not all, of these institutions would desperately wish to avoid discovery.
