As petty as they've been throughout this whole process that's what this is. They wanted their reporters to break the news and the hot mic messed that up. They are trying desperately to control the narrative of their total botch job. 1 Quote Link to comment

(x vs. x) That last week could be filled nicely with a game against an all-star team with the best players from all the other teams! Quote Link to comment

Dude...this is cool. More incentive to fight down the stretch to play the best team you can in game nine (if I'm reading it correctly). 4 Quote Link to comment

I agree, any attempt to play more games at this point makes me (us) happy. 3 Quote Link to comment

I like it (so long as it's not a bunch of rematches, but even then I will still watch it). May serve as a de facto bowl game, too, particularly if some or all of them don't end up happening this year. 1 Quote Link to comment

Ordinarily we'd have 168 televised games in a season, but we lose 56 games with the abbreviated season. With a lot of the conference ineligible for a bowl game, this gives us an additional six games' worth of ad revenue. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Somebody who knows how needs to set up a poll or polls on: 1. Will all teams play the opening week games? 2. Will any games be played if one team get more than 5 positive tests? 3. Will the Big Ten champ play more than 6 games in 2020? 4. Will more lawsuits be filed vs Big Ten before Dec 1, 2020? I think odds are about 50% of each as of today’s limited news. The details must be put forth for all to see immediately. Trust only what you see and not what you hear third hand.

I think the scorn the conference has taken for sitting out while other conferences play lit the fire and did the trick. The skepticism is absolutely warranted, but I think we'll play a bunch of games. Quote Link to comment
FrantzHardySwag Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 A reporter just asked why the communication was so poor. Warren just gave the biggest non answer ever. Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I am guessing we have very stringent medical conditions because Rutgers, Michigan and the rest of the snooty schools had the B1G over a barrel. I still say let the idiots sit it out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
