B1G Could be playing football starting in October

“From source: If conference can pass updated safety measures and procedures, Big Ten targeting Oct. 10 to start football season.” - Dan Patrick

This came after the president met with B1G commish Kevin Warren. Warren's son plays for Mississippi St and they will be playing in September.

Also:

TV partners have already green-lighted any decision that B1G presidents and Kevin Warren decide on, but bigger networks Fox Sports and ESPN/ABC are also pushing for October start, per source.

Big Ten will only get partial TV revenue if they delay until Thanksgiving or later.

Sounds like maybe the parent groups and the pressure from the AD's actually made a difference. Good deal.

Yeah glad there could be college football during the fall but at the same time Frostys team is .500 at best.

Now had this season been delayed til next year his offense was going to have 10 projected starters on offense that were 4* guys and the defense would be average.

Gonna be alot of pressure when he goes 4-6 or 5-5 this year if they play.

They must have had budget meetings today.

They should have never tried to not have football

Perhaps, but it won't be anything meaningful. Schools aren't going to have buyout money for a long while unless boosters commit to it and extra to the school.

We'll see how committed they are to that.

Lol no they won’t be.

As long as I can watch corn win less than half of their games I'm a happy guy.

LMAO

BooClones are not the sharpest tool in the B12 shed.....

not to make this political, but Trump deserves some credit if this ends up happening.

Funny how that got ignored.

It's also happening in states he kind of needs politically, so I'm guessing thats more of the reason it's happening.

Read something a little while ago that the Big 10 was counting on the ACC cancelling as well but Notre Dame made them change their mind and in turn they left the Big 10 high and dry.

Yeah, but who cares?

For sure. But before we get too carried away, there's a reason he's likely doing it. In the end, football is football so it doesn't matter.

The commissioner essentially made a unilateral decision. Several AD's objected but were ignored.

Then several groups of parents from Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio State, and Penn State started writing letters and the commissioner decided maybe he made a mistake.

I know the Nebraska players were considering litigation, too not sure if they filed it but they threatened it.

The commissioner should have known better.

To be fair, 25K is a normal crowd at Jack Trice. So they're not really chaining anything. :D

40% capacity.

AKA "average Saturday in Ames". o:-)

How many fans will be in the stands in Iowa City this fall? :rolleyes:

Regardless thats getting shit done.

Also Clay Travis at Outkick facilitated the whole thing. As Whitlock tweeted, ballers get stuff done, wannabees just virtue signal.

Great to see the pushback from people wanting to move on with life.

If the University gets their way, and they go 40% capacity like little bro, it'll be about 30K. ;)

In all fairness, Iowa State benefits from the fact that their commissioner does whatever Tejas wants.

The B10 commissioner way overstepped his bounds. You know he screwed up when Ohio State signs on to a complaint.

Let’s hear from all the Corona-panic/hysteria dumbshits now who were predicting no college football just a few weeks ago.

Is it true that some B1G teams aren’t practicing or even on campus? I have a hard time believing they will just suddenly start playing football games Oct. 10th

Michigan is practicing

Paging Dr Mecca.

Kindly GTFO with this shit, we don't need yet another thread going this route.

Go **** yourself and change your depends.This is totally par for the course in any CP thread.

See you in the gripe thread crying about snowflakes, tough guy.



(update: 3 minutes LMAO )

The conversations and pressure for Big10 football started well before Trump, but i kinda figured he and his voters would take credit for it anyway.

I wouldn't be running any victory laps just yet re big 10

Would that be mr “keep politics out of sports” clay travis? Or are we done with that now?

Nebraska has been practicing as have other teams. I think the rules were no pass though.

The fact the Big 10 is already talking about an October or November return and with the ACC/SEC/Big 12 all about to start confirms the doomsday predictions... as is the case with most of the Corona-hype... were overblown.

Hah. :hmmm:

Well now they changed it to zero fans.

So it's a Cyclone tail gate?

So stupid.

They just let the media bully them into kicking the fans out.

The media was hyperventilating over positivity rates in Ames, where the college is testing every student who is returning to campus. The media doesn't care whether or not people are actually sick, just that positivity number to freak people out. Sad.

Yes, my neighborhood will be full of them.

Yes indeedley doodley neighbor

Hey, hey, why are people being permitted to say the T-word in the Lounge!?

You mean a few weeks ago when the Cardinals and Marlins had to postpone their games for weeks due to outbreaks of Covid?

People act like taking steps to prevent spread isn't a huge part of getting sports back.

LMAO This dumbshit mod doesn’t want any reference or discussion as to the reason the Big 10 initially canceled their season... i.e. the premise of this thread.

https://gifrific.com/wp-content/uplo...nod-office.gif

The premise of this thread is to talk about football. You guys are the ****ing worst and should be nuked to a hell of watching Hillary and Rosie 69'ing forever.

One thread: DoN't MaKe FoOtBaLl PoLiTiCaL

Next thread: LoOk At WhAt ThE pOlItIcAl GuY i LiKe DiD!!!!!!@1

What was the reason the Big 10 canceled their season initially?

And what is the thing that will be influencing when/how the Big 10 returns?

It is Corona.

But I thought the virus wasn't political!!!!!!

Can't you ****ing ****s make up your minds already

You are saying it is political in this thread, not me.

LMAO

No, reerun.

I'm saying you guys have an entire section to ****ing scissor over Donald Trump. Let people talk about football in the ****ing football section.

What part of that don't you comprehend, ****ing idiot?

LMAO Looks like someone is triggered.

All I said was the doomsday predictions about college football are proving to be incorrect with the Big 10 already actively discussing a fall return. Not sure how that is a “political” statement.

And now you are the one vomiting political BS.

KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Those days are over. Now it's see the opponent take the field and piss ourselves.

Its all Missouri Tigers fault.



























Oh noz u diiiint

BREAKING: The Big Ten must disclose additional information related to its decision to postpone fall sports and in the next 10 days, the Lancaster County district court ruled.

It is no coincidence that the conferences with the two weakest commissioners have created a dumpster fire of fail with their panicked/rushed decisions to cancel fall football.

The Big 10’s new commissioner might be the shortest tenured commish in modern power conference history after this fiasco.

I just think Warren has the wrong background for the position he's in. He's clearly a smart individual, but I think you just have to have college experience in order to do the job. If Delany was still on the job I have no doubt the Big Ten would be playing football.

Also hard to put all of the blame on him when the majority of school presidents supported his decision

Look no further than Bob Bowlsby.

Yeah, but its his job to know they are a bunch of pussies that can be swayed by the media. You have to work the ADs and the coaches to work their presidents.

The way I understood it, they were supportive but the individual AD's were never consulted. He should have involved actual sports people before he decided to just call the whole thing off.

Kudos to the Huskers for spearheading this thing.

@Bcarp3
Ball is in the University Presidents court... they have access to the Abbott instant testing.

It's the final hurdle for player safety and initially they will the only conference that has it.

Kevin Warren is working to pull it together... this can happen and he can be the hero

The timing of this is interesting not just the meeting with President Trump, but the court in Lancaster saying hey we want to see the information. I'm not a lawyer I guess them asking for that information would he standard but what happens if they were to rule against the B1G? Hopefully someone like DJ could chime in on this.

Wheels are in motion...

Looks like 30-35% of Big 10 athletes that tested positive for COVID 19 also had myocarditis. Yikes.

Yeah if that report is true I dont see how they can play.

Not sure how to embed tweets on mobile but that report appears to be fake news.

If Penn State’s doctors had legit found myocarditis in 30%+ of their players then the ACC/Big 12/SEC would not be playing college football this fall.

All bullshit like so much else in 2020

Looks like the B1G doesnt have enough votes to start Oct 10th. Most likely will be the end of November.

The reasoning? I dont know.

Glad to know.

Playing outside in Dec-Jan? This from a league that never even played night games in Nov due to weather concerns....

Apparently a discussed scenario is to play in indoor/domed stadiums that are in the Big 10 geographic footprint such as Indy, Minneapolis, Detroit, etc.

I guess taking part in indoor activities is no longer unsafe relative to playing outdoors.

I said this post 7.

The teams that want to play need to out the ones that don't.

Let the public weigh in instead of doing this shit behind closed doors.

Nebraskas president was caught on a hot mic this morning saying there will be an announcement tonight that the Huskers and B1G will be playing football soon.

A reporter in Milwaukee has confirmed it start date will be Oct 17th which still makes all teams eligible for the playoffs

Well, it's tonight
