Alvarez was quoted as saying they could be ready in as little as 3 weeks and he wasn't worried about the current pause in athletics. So, I don't think Wisconsin would be out. Rutgers is obviously the worthless program here, which we knew. But here’s the problem, the AD has zero decision making power. And probably that’s right. Inconvenient, but right 1 Quote Link to comment

Looks like NU, Iowa, Wisc., Ohio State , Penn State, Purdue, and Indiana are in. MSU, and Maryland are out according to sources. Making that assumption right now. Illinois, Northwestern, Minnesota, Michigan , Rutgers are ??? No idea how this will go. If they vote no , then I see a major $hit show of angry fans from the schools who want to play and some lawsuits to boot. If I was guessing on pure speculation: Vote yes to play: Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Indiana, Illinois Vote no to play: MSU, Michigan, Maryland, Rutgers, Northwestern Deciding vote comes to MN and it seems like they have been leaning toward not playing. When they announced the shut down Fleck and the Gophers played good boy and said they fully supported. Not sure if that was just to show conference unity or a directive from the upper brass at Minnesota. Quote Link to comment

You NEVER make it have to be unanimous because otherwise, the minority rules. What good is having a board like this if the vote to play is 13-1 and the 1 vote rules? Good Friggen Lord....these people are smarter than this. 2 Quote Link to comment

No opting out. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I hear you about fleck however wasn't it the lady at Minny that said there wasn't a vote. if so, she may have said that due to the pressure that she got when boosters started to scream - no could become yes. 1 Quote Link to comment
