What are the Covid rules for the Big 10?  If they can't play is it a forfeit?

As of now, yes.

 

Other conferences did the same but are now changing that "rule"

This shocks zero people.  Kevin Warren is a loser.  I know some people think it is not "his fault" but it is...

Why should he change the rule?

Well most conferences have started to change the rule...I think, this is my guess and I am usually wrong, is that most people thought "it" would be gone by now.

If all your friends jumped off a cliff……

 

maybe I would feel differently if I thought of this in terms of our women’s team that actually plays good basketball as a team and has a chance to do something in the conference. But, why should (if) we can’t play OSU because of their COVID problems, hurt our record?

Why?  I have no idea.

I am fine with it being a win...

 

With that said...are you blaming them (vaxxed players, which they are) for testing positive?

No, it’s unfortunate.  
 

If we had enough players get a combination of injuries and the flu that we can’t play, should we have yo forfeit the game because it’s not COVID?

No...

In my world...if you can field a team...you should play.

Yeah...if people thought this would be gone by now, they haven't been paying attention since March 2020. 

 

On another note, if the team doesn't come out and put a decent effort on the floor against tOSU (I don't expect a win--even if tOSU COVID-forfeits--just a close game), I propose we start doing individual game threads for the women's games, and we relegate the men's season to a single dreary thread going forward.

Games can be rescheduled, cancelled or considered a forfeit. Also you have to have 7 players and a coach to compete, but you can also compete with less than 7 - also you can say it's still too unsafe to play with more than 7. 

 

Thanks Kevin, bang up job clearing things up for everyone.
