There is literally not enough time left between now and Saturday to make it happen. And the idea of playing on Sunday would be dumb. No way would a responsible coach take one day away from Northwestern week to squeeze in a game that would amount to nothing more than a scrimmage. NU would be best served at this point to rest up and prepare to take out frustrations on NW. Maybe you're right, but I get the feeling Frost/Moos would take that Sunday game in a heartbeat Quote Link to comment
Fru Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Take the bye. Get an extra week to prepare for NW. Hopefully Iowa can beat em up a bit this week. Get out of Evanston with a victory, and hopefully have some confidence going into a meeting with a likely 1-2 Penn St team. Quote Link to comment

There are no fans, no concessions, blah blah. who pays for the travel, meals, lodging, testing? itd have to be another program that needs to play. I just don’t see how this happens. Just TV revenues, I guess? Any programming is better than no programming. Quote Link to comment

WyoHusker56 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 If this actually happens it means that NU has had potential back up games basically planned out and just have to finalize things like travel, TV, etc. I am still skeptical anything happens, but where there's smoke...

I 100% think we'd have gone down this road knowing the conference likely wouldn't approve it. It's pretty crazy to not approve it given that UTC has been tested and agreed, so it's just another case to bring up nationally about how poorly the Big Ten leadership has handled everything. I'm sure we hoped they would approve it, but I'm also sure we don't mind extra eyes on the Big Ten botching things. Quote Link to comment
