Yes, I believe most are planning on having fairly empty campuses from Thanksgiving until the 2nd or 3rd week in January. Nebraska is for sure in that group. Nothing in person after Thanksgiving.

So Nebraska students will be done by Thanksgiving. I'm having trouble finding which other B1G schools are too. Anyone else know?

Nebraska, Wisconsin & Iowa switching to online formats after Thanksgiving. Just did a brief search but safe to assume more in the conference are following a similar plan.

I wonder if we hear the new start date by tomorrow at the latest and in return the court filing is dropped. Don’t want those secret vote and convos leaked.

I wonder if that will stop anyone's FOIA request. My guess is they'll still be curious enough to want to see those through, season or no season.

IMO they've gone too far down the rabbit hole now. You can't refuse to give any information on your decision and then drop quotes about how releasing the information would cause "irreparable harm" and expect people to go away. The B1G has bungled this decision from start to finish and I think they are only beginning to pay the consequences. The thing is the decision wasn't necessarily the wrong one, but their handling sure has been.

Unlikely a deal to drop the players’ lawsuit with only some agreed upon late fall date to start without the revelation of the vote numbers and IDs thereof as well as more details of the basis for those votes.  The suit may be delayed but not dismissed as Big Ten can simply promise then backtrack afterwards.  

More likely some possible deal to allow schools to schedule on their own without Big Ten involved.  This lets everybody get what they want.  And conference stays ‘safe’ from liability.  But the voting will come out, one way or the other, whether via players’ case or by FOI requests to each school.  

A FOI suit to any one school would get the votes/meeting minutes.   The minutes may not reveal all the details of discussions/comments either way.  

Any discussion whereby board members plan or agree to evade public meetings laws is a real No-No and I believe a Class 3 or 4 misdemeanor.   State laws vary across the several states but all states have restrictions on public officials conducting closed meetings or taking secretive actions.

Wow, a late January is going to put you with a B1G championship game in late March. You're going to lose all draft eligible players because they'll be preparing for the draft vs. playing in a joke of a season. And worst of all you're going to impact your 2021 season. The people in charge are just honestly idiots.

Well, seeing how we havent really placed any draft talent in the league consistently since Ameer graduated, this might actually be good for us! ;)
