I am putting them here because I know it will trigger people on this board. So lets try to deal with the information provided via hyperlinks, instead of bashing the news site ad hominem as "far right" blah blah blah. It is no coincidence that a large part of Big 10 schools come from blue states. It definitely is a topic for conversation regardless of what side of the aisle you are. College sports was supposed to be one of the last remaining entertaining things to do, without religion and politics shoved down peoples throat. Regardless, I hope Nebraska does something. It sucks being held hostage. "Michigan is reportedly supposed to be one of the six schools involved in this plan, but Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, architect of one of the most severe COVID-19 lockdowns in the nation, is allegedly opposed to football in the state as things stand now. “I also was also told that one roadblock to the new plan is the fact that Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been vehemently opposed to football being played—at the high school and college level – in the state this fall,” Snook reported. Whitmer is on record in months past as saying there needs to be a widely available vaccine and mass quantities of tests available to determine when “we have some immunity built up.” The most optimistic estimates for when a vaccine might be available point to the end of the year. Michigan is still limiting indoor gatherings to 10 or fewer people, and bars are are closed for indoor service. Outdoor gatherings are limited to 100 or fewer people". https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/hey-michigan-voters-confirmed-governor-gretchen-whitmer-shut-michigan-big-ten-football/ "Amy Klobuchar: Um, oh no, I actually talked to the University of Minnesota President about this. President [Joan T. A.] Gabel I like her a lot and she actually tried everything to make things open as much as we can including classes at the university. But you know what – you have to keep people safe and we know that these large crowds and people together are what’s causing these outbreaks and it’s sad because we all want to be together. We all want to get back". https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/breaking-exclusive-minnesota-senator-amy-klobuchar-brags-calling-university-minnesota-president-urging-shut-big-ten-football-video/

"Through my years in coaching, I can almost pick out the guys who have a marijuana problem," Riley said. "You give me three weeks with a team and, if you've got five guys, I could get three or four of them." http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/14449159/many-power-five-schools-step-pot-easement-trend

This year is the last year I will be attending UNL, and in order to save some cash, I moved off campus to an apartment complex on 1st and Superior called the Highland View. To save even more cash, I bought a nice and relatively cheap bike this summer. My original intent in purchasing this bike was to save money on gas and wear/tear on my vehicle, but after moving in this last week, I've realized that I don't know whether there's a simple way to get to campus from where I'm at. I could stick to city streets, but they're pretty clunky and people don't pay the best attention to cyclists. It would also take me longer to get to campus going up to 14th and cutting south then a trail possibly might. I'm looking for a trail that runs by 1st and Superior and heads towards campus. There's a frolf course/park next to my apartment, and there's a trail that runs through it, however I'm not sure exactly where this trail goes because I lose sight of it from Cornhusker Highway. I probably won't have time to bike it before semester starts next Monday, so I'm hoping some of you on here can give me some tips or insight. My degree requires I look presentable i.e. full business attire on certain days, so biking won't always be an option, but it sure would be nice to have a clean-cut path to campus that doesn't involve going up to 14th and taking that all the way to campus.
