knapplc Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Someone needs to go back and find all the predictions Sir Yacht has made. He's gotta be at nearly a dozen different predictions, different start dates, different scenarios. 1 Quote Link to comment
floridacorn Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 If I'm missing something, please enlighten me, but this is my take away from all the Big 10 Back rumors... Select coaches & AD's are going rogue attempting to create a solution for Kevin Warren & Co. &/or attempting to force their hand. They will probably have as much success as Warren did in leading all of CF into the abyss. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 From Bucknuts forum ..... Quote I think it's a ploy to appease the villagers amassing at the gates with their pitchforks. And they'll pull the rug out from under them again and push the spring season. Warren saves face and then get's his way. A wolf in sheeps clothing! Totally agreed 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Nobody wanted a global pandemic. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

I looked up COVID graphs, Europe countries and even Canada was almost zero daily deaths since early July. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

In the meantime India and most of South America has spiked hugely. The gist from some folks is that the egghead beancounters of the University world might actually enjoy canceling sports, but I think the institutions are just freaked out about kids dying on their watch and will change their minds if the prevailing sentiment helps cover their a$$. Also: the money. 1 Quote Link to comment

Also: the money. B1G still searching for a perfect solution that doesn't exist. Start in September, you risk an outbreak and a season cancellation - and on top of that possible lawsuits and the optics aren't great. All that being said you gave the fans, players, coaches and ADs what they wanted - and they'll be happy you tried. Start in the spring, MAYBE there will be viable treatments that make the virus less deadly, maybe immunity at the community level greatly drops the amount of cases. You still give the players, coaches, ADs, and fans a season - with the possibility of it being a safer environment. But on the other end, maybe it's not any safer to play in the spring, you are asking kids to squeeze two full seasons into a year. Judging by the B1Gs behavior, a November season seems the most likely to me. It will allow them to appease all parties. Players, Coaches, ADs, Fans - guess what we played fall football! Presidents, University leadership worried about a possible outbreak, lawsuit - guess what we have a full month to see if the SEC, Big 12, ACC have any issues - and if they do we can pull the plug and save face while the rest of them have egg on their face.

This is why it should not happen. Especially if the other three P5 conferences succeed. The big 3 will be having Spring ball with the recruits the Big Ten loses to them before singing day. I will be watching the NCAA tourney. The kids will have no reason to play. Makes no sense unless everyone does it, and we know the SEC, ACC and Big 12 will not be doing it. They will be pushing through a fall season and see how far they get. Quote Link to comment

Seems like a recruit could early-sign in December, early-enroll in January and be immediately eligible for a spring season. Although it would have to be one very special athlete to just go into college ball with minimal preparation. 1 Quote Link to comment
