NoLongerN Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Love our schedule ... two puff games at the beginning and two wins at the end. I can see us going 3-3 into the bye and a chance to win 3 of 4 down the stretch. By the Penn State game we will have no excuses and getting them at home means that we have a chance with the schedule to finish on an uptick and help recruiting as well. I didn't see a winning season going into this year but with this schedule I could see us going 6-4. I think we are very fortunate. Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 This off season really highlights how worthless of an organization the NCAA is. They place tons of restrictions on these kids around transferring, earning money, etc. However, when it comes to doing absolutely anything regarding health concerns they have failed to do one stupid thing. They've had since March to come up with literally anything on sports and the conferences have all led the way without the NCAA doing anything at all. 4 Quote Link to comment

There was no way they were ever going to put themselves in a position of responsibility/liability in this situation. To do so would be foolish. If they cancel, they get sued for lost revenue by many. If they dictate the season, they potentially get sued by many. They punt and they don't get sued by anyone. It's really very simple if you can take a step back and remove emotion. 1 Quote Link to comment

The thing is, with the conferences releasing their schedules this week I'd say that as of today, it's actually the opposite right? 1 Quote Link to comment

hunter49 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 i think that release is wishful thinking, just my thoughts, anything on paper is encouraging, if not realistic. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's really very simple if you can take a step back and remove emotion. I fully understand why they've done it this way. My point is that it just exemplifies their ineptitude as an organization and the B1G players are calling them out already. The NCAA is a regulatory organization who has refused to provide any regulations at a point when it was really most needed. I agree they did it to avoid liability, but if they are only going to step in when it's safe and no liability is involved they aren't really "dedicated to the well-being and lifelong success of college athletes." and are thus a worthless organization who only regulates students when it benefits them. 3 Quote Link to comment
hunter49 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 so i suppose this lands back in the lap of individual schools? this is not good. setting the schedule simply kicks the can down the road. NCAA can't be a regulating body and not have responsibility, the players are not gaining on health issues or insurance, in their demands. PAC 12 players asking for a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think this is the beginning of the end for the NCAA I can see a huge push for conferences breaking away from the NCAA forming their own regulation and rules that gears more towards players making some money and such 1 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Local teams in the Des Moines area have been picking up players outside of the state lately. Valley just added the #1 player in Colorado...4* QB - these families are required to move to be able to play and that is a lot of risk to possibly have the season cancelled. Quote Link to comment

I think the biggest issue with the season isn't the health of the athletes per say, its all the logistics that are going to be involved in this. If anything goes wrong it could bring the whole thing crashing down. So many problems to solve and I don't think we have solved them all yet. 1 Quote Link to comment
