I also find the “I don’t use my place of employment to impact social issues” argument lame, as well. Do most people’s employment get televised across millions of people all over the world? I know mine doesn’t.

 

I applaud these athletes for taking advantage of their exposure and status in the public for trying to make society better. These athletes have a “voice” which others don’t have. 

Does zoom count? haha

Rutgers shouldn't be able to hold up schools like NU and OSU. Let's vote then out first.

I got my hopes once, then twice. Shame on me. I am just hoping the kids that are left get to have a meaningful season even if it is the second string. It’s 3pm eastern...are we gonna hear anything today?

Exactly. This season is not about winning games or leagues or championships. It's about players not getting screwed on their next level aspirations and for teams to not lose a full season of game experience. That's it imo. The season already has a huge asterisk on it.

I find this funny.  Sure, I can go with this.....but, if we start in October and plant 8-10 games and  go un-defeated, FU, this season meant something.

That may just be them speculating, but it sure seems like good news!

I booked my embassy suites hotel rooms for every weekend starting in Mid Oct to after Thanksgiving for approx 140/night.  Just on speculation.

Lots of smoke.

Ok, I’ve thought about booking some of these, but, we don’t know when the home games will be or if fans can go.  
 

So, just hang out in bars all day like @teachercd?

 

 Try here was a time in my life I would have been all over this. ....but.....

Just curious, but how was the kneeling during the national anthem “disgracing our veterans” when that form of “protest” was recommended to Kaepernick and others by a U.S. military veteran?

 

Those players weren’t protesting the anthem or the flag, they were giving a show of protest “during” the anthem. That’s the key difference.  

Just because it was reccomend by a veteran doesn't mean he speaks for all veterans.

8 is not enough for a playoff.  If fans are not admitted or they play in domes (I dont think the domes will be available but?).  the fiscal loss will still be huge.  That will be about half of TV $ probably and no ticket or concession $.  Bowl games are out as season goes well into December so no bowl bucks.  With all the penalties $ costs, Big Ten and members still take big losses in all likelihood.   

It is all so dumb they couldnt even put a spring schedule in place after 4 months !   Just sickening.  These people are all PhDs and get million dollar pay.  Kevin has only one dam job and we get nothing for his $4 million!

A win-win case scenario for us. We still get to play a season and lose nothing (as we weren't making it this year). Yet the B1G still looks poor for their handling of all this (and in turn us) as it still caused a short season.

I  checked here first without even reading the news.  Did they vote?

 

Should I get sent to the Woodshed for a bad joke about recounting mail in ballots??
