EVERY aspect of life contains risk.

Nothing is 100% “safe”.

Find your acceptable level of risk and, literally, LIVE with it.

The ones that don’t Big 10 football to start are the same ones that think Nazi governor Whitless is doing a good job, nobody!

(i.e. Americans don't seem to be aching for college life or sports to return to normal).

Incorrect. We have no wish to watch sports that presume to shove leftist politics down our throats. If any sport would just entertain us, it would do well.

Surrounded by a Network full of fake news idiots.

Mid-American

Ok, Mr. Author:

1. Name a school in the the Mid-American (MAC). Any school.

2. Name the states these schools are located in.

3. Specify which states are in your definition of "fly-over country".

“Are you stupid for agreeing “


College football vs. NBA are 2 different animals. NBA wants to stick BLM up our arses. BIG10 midwest/rustbelt schools are playing blatant politics to hurt DjT.

Accordingly, I couldn’t care less if the NBA (or any sympathetic leagues) cozy up to BLM and go belly up), but I vehemently want college football coaches, players, athletic directors to best the liberal administrators and governors in PA, Wi, IL, Mi, Ohio (not sure where DeWine stands) who are attempting to extend the malaise.

Now, suddenly, having realized they’re fools,—and legally liable for violating their obligation to scholarship athletes— the BiG10 is thinking about resuming after all.....around Thanksgiving, conveniently AFTER the election.

These are POS slimes. They’re politics are backfiring, as the CNN author fails to realize. He also fails to mention that the BIG10 commissioner —Kevin Warren—has a son who is playing in the SEC conference, this year, at Mississippi State. Ooops....how inconvenient. It’s OK for his son to play, but not yours in the BiG10.

The Big 10 is looking blatantly political when others in their states are playing at high school and professional levels. I want another WINNING ! for DjT

This will be the end of the NCAA / Big10..so there’s that.

It’s not just Trump. I read an article a couple days ago, I think it was here on FR, that all the players and their families want to start playing again, because it’s guess what? That’s right, RACIST to not play. They were basically admitting that they were not there to get a degree, but were there just to make money in future pro sports.

Since the SEC. is playing it just makes the Big 10 look terrible.

Joe Biden has just put out an ad showing empty stadiums saying it’s Trump’s fault. What? Trump has been saying school and football should be a go for months. The ad is really strange.

They were set to shut down college football when Trevor Lawrence of Clemson said that nobody was asking the athletes who want to play.

Now Ohio State, Nebraska, and Iowa want to play. We should make room for them in the ACC or SEC. Let Nebraska rejoin Oklahoma in the Big 12. Notre Dame is already in the ACC. Would be some championship football.

I truly salute the Clemson Tigers. And I’m an Alabama guy.

Like x 100 on CNN having the pulse of America. Meanwhile, they would say, the NBA is a necessity of our life. NOT.

All of the coaches in the Big 10 want to play.... they’ve teamed up to push it.

10 of 12 college Presidents want to play ( $$$$) Michigan and Northwestern led the cancellation and everybody went along. Liberal hacks Whitmer and Pritzker control 4 of the 12 and want to damage Trump.

They’ll look like incompetent executives worthy of firing if they don’t play when everyone else is.

A November restart smells of ‘get Trump ‘ politics, but it’s silly to wait almost 3 months to begin play since they had been prepping before the shut down.

I predict they’ll play in the BIG10 and PAC12 late Sept. to get somewhat in sync with the other power 5s.

I think this business of fatalities dropping from 150,000 to 9,000 will stick a broomstick in their spokes.
