What do think the possibility is that the secret vote was purposefully leaked to cause backlash?

I think that’s a high probability.

 

Agreed. And it makes me wonder if it's more likely that they play. Frost's talk about the monetary ramifications was spot-on, and there's some scary realities there. By leaking the possibility of canceling, they make those who want the season have to be that much more vocal - and that provides cover.

 

I think most of us agree the biggest reason the decision-makers would cancel the season is fear of liability. This is the decision-makers forcing others to force their hand. It's a stronger argument in case of future litigation.

Nope. He just knows the Michigan board of regents are pansies.

That seems plausible.  But it would be really odd that they singled out Nebraska and Iowa as still wanting to play.  I think the other schools that still want to play wouldn't appreciate that too much.

 

I think it's more likely that the "leak" was embellished to make a good story.  Something to the effect of Nebraska and Iowa really wanted to play while the others were more hesitant or still waiting.  But when it comes out it sounded much more grand than it actually was.

I think we can lock this thread up now.

This question specifically asked when will the B10 pull the plug on OUR season not "the season" or "the B10's season". We technically could still have a season.

 

That distinction did lead to me answering the question the way that I did.
