Just have your kid take his SAT score to some other football power school, and apply for admittance.

I think the Big 10 athletes are afraid they may have to go to class this year. 😬

Universities are run by liberals. Liberals would cut off their right arm to get rid of the orange man. Apparently the SEC athletic departments have more clout than the oh so woke Big (10, 12, 14, 16 and counting).

African-Americans need to suck it up, if #BadOrangeMan is to be removed from office.

Past time for serious universities that are really into education, which I suspect are probably counted on one hand, to end athletics which are simply BLM professional sports farm teams. Let the NBA/NHL/NFL have their own A, AA, AAA farm teams. These “college” players are not students anyway.

I read 24 of 25 of states with GOP governors are going to play high school football. Only GOP state not laying is Hogan in MD. 15 of 24 states with Dem governors are not playing. My numbers might be off a bit there but it proves this is political in nature.

First year Big 10 Commissioner Kevin Warren is a Far Left Wing Liberal Democrat - read some of his posts on Yahoo. Once President Trump supported playing the season, Warren pulled the plug.

Now Warren is blaming the Lawyers for cancelling the season. The Big 10 made a huge mistake hiring this guy.

I have no obligation to support a BLM member because he can run and jump.

Warren is doing what the presidents of the B10 universities want, he isn't acting on his own. Not that he isn't a lefty, Trump hater, but he's a message boy in this instance.
