Sorry... Just found other things to do, and saving money
He was very outspoken about pro shutdown before he ever met with the presidents.hey.. not trying to defend Warren, but the decision to shut down the fall season really isn't on him.. That's on the presidents.. which includes the tosu, psu, um, wi, etc.. His hands were tied.
IMO, they panicked. I think the thought was things were going to get worse, but when they got better, they didn't know what to do and just cancelled and stated some bullshit about player security that's entirely baseless. It's an astonishing embarrassment and I wouldn't be upset if it means OSU leaving the B1G for good.Unless you are a season ticket holder, is it really that much money saved? An even then some athletic departments may be expecting some to just count it as a donation.
I don’t mind hiding behind the facade of player safety. But JFC, death rates are all but non existent for people in the players age group. For most, these players are testing positive and nothing is happening. Do we really need to shut the whole college football world down for this?
Dude it’s going to kill recruiting. Why would anybody wanna play for this conference when this could happen again and no guarantee they’ll even be a season next year?IMO, they panicked.

It's obviously liability fear. Whatever...Unless you are a season ticket holder, is it really that much money saved? An even then some athletic departments may be expecting some to just count it as a donation.

Ohio State in the Big Xii would be awesome. The Buckeyes can bring whomever they want with them to fill out the Dirty Dozen!IMO, they panicked.

There will be a season next year. It's just a matter of who OSU is going to be playing. They can basically choose which conference they want to play for, and if the rest of the feckless B1G presidents that voted no on this season don't get their shit together, they're going to destroy their own programs.Dude it’s going to kill recruiting. Why would anybody wanna play for this conference when this could happen again and no guarantee they’ll even be a season next year?

Money saved is really just me not going it and spending $100 every Saturday at the bars.
I think the recruiting claim is overblown.Dude it’s going to kill recruiting. Why would anybody wanna play for this conference when this could happen again and no guarantee they’ll even be a season next year?
It wouldn't be shocking if the ACC/SEC/Big 12 don't cancel as things get closer and closer. It's becoming apparent that any conferences cancelling were stupid to do so, just as it was stupid to change schedules to 10 games and get rid of OOC games. None of this is based in any kind of science, it's just chickenshit dumbasses panicking all around.No doubt they panicked. In the end they may be right as classes resume and 1,000’s of kids are on campus. But I agree they should have waited until the very possible last moment.
Any chance you see the B1G and it’s presidents backtracking?
Yeah, we're open till 10:00 now. With no OSU season, I might go to a bar and have a couple drinks.I get that liability fear to a point. But it was awful early to call the season because of that.
Bars are still open as I’ve seen. Boss is from Ashland and is visiting home this weekend. You lucky sons a bitches can drink at the bar in Ohio right now.
They cancelled MLB games, and that was professional, paid athletes. They aren't going to cancel CFB games with positive tests?It wouldn't be shocking if the ACC/SEC/Big 12 don't cancel as things get closer and closer.

And that was equally stupid. Cancelling games in any sport is baseless and ignorant.They cancelled MLB games, and that was professional, paid athletes. They aren't going to cancel CFB games with positive tests?

Did a single player from either team have symptoms?I think the recent reds cancel is a bit much but Florida and St Louis were pretty substantial

Not having college football will suck, but sorry... We don't NEED it.
