All of the top upperclassman of our opponents will not be playing while all of our upperclassman will be playing? Sounds good to me!

Looks like the Big Six Rebellion of 2020 is at its end. And the culprit is none other than Gretchen the Grinch who stole the 2020 College Football Season.
"I was also told that one roadblock to the new plan is the fact that Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been vehemently opposed to football being played—at the high school and college level—in the state this fall," explained veteran college football writer Jeff Snook.
After the Big Ten Conference postponed its football season on August 11, Ohio State's Smith recruited the University of Iowa, University of Nebraska, and Penn State University to be part of a six-team season. To move forward with the season, Smith needed to get two more programs on board and was hopeful Harbaugh's Wolverines would be one of them."

Decisions to allow programs and individuals the choice to play or not are politically motivated/geopolitical? I'm stunned to learn of this...

Off-topic, but man that's an ugly emblem at the 50. For a moment I thought I was looking at a soccer field...

Gretchen must not have known the source wasn't credible so that was never happening.
This thing has broken right down political fault lines for the most part
States that went red in 2016 are playing football:
Sec-alabama Florida Georgia Tennessee Arkansas South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky Missouri Texas
Big 12 all red -Texas Oklahoma Kansas iowa West Virginia
Acc-red : North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina , Pennsylvania , Florida
Outlier blues: New York, Virginia
no go blues:
pac 12- California, Oregon, Washington, colorado, Arizona
outlier Red- Utah
big 10
yeahs - reds - Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio, pennsylvania, Indiana
nos- tied states: Michigan, Wisconsin
blues no-new York, Maryland. , Illinois, Minnesota
So really easy to see why the sec, big 12 and acc we’re so unified to play
we also see why the pac 12 was so unified not to play
Very obvious to see why the big 10 was so split, we Are are not politically homogenous at all like the other conferences.
At the end of the day culturally our country differs a bit from area to area and in some places football is important and in others not so much . Looks like university presidents either think like their constituants or they just voted for those interests

Well that was quick. I literally said that there could be lawsuits against the Big 14 because of this just hours ago.
My perspective is going to be different due to me living and working in a part of each conference . Yes diverse and great people in every spot but the majority cultures, what is important to them is so very different.
Areas I lived and worked in sales , so I talked to lots of the same guys for long periods of time and covered lots of ground
bay area- state of California only. Some of the most amazing and hard working people in the world are farming here in the valley and eastern Cali. Could easily be midwesterners. But majority is liberal
seattle- Washington only. Very liberal
dallas- had 4 states-Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana. Some of the coolest people in the world in okc, Texas hill country and west Texas. Conservative
Denver- Colorado only- liberal
florida panhandle- florida, Alabama, mississipi, Louisiana-Very conservative.
Omaha -Des Moines- lincoln
covering Nebraska, iowa, South Dakota. Conservative
Worked here for companies based in New York City and Boston- so I’ve been to both spots for a grand total of maybe 70-80 days- never lived there. Very liberal
Love our country, have great friends in all those spots , but we are very different by region, closest to us is west Texas

Was not a bit much...was exactly what I was thinking. Very easy to see for someone who takes an extrospective approach. To highlight this point consider the following:
World War I: Did not cancel college football
Stock Market Crash of 1929: Did not cancel college football
Great Depression: Did not cancel college football
Spanish Flu: Did not cancel college football
World War II: Did not cancel college football
Korean War: Did not cancel college football
Hong Kong Virus: Did not cancel college football
Vietnam War: Did not cancel college football
Gulf War: Did not cancel college football
9/11: Did not cancel college football
Great Recession: Did not cancel college football
Iraq War: Did not cancel college football
Afghanistan War: Did not cancel college football
Bird Flu: Did not cancel college football
SARS: Did not cancel college football
Covid-19: cancel.....cancel....cancel...Cancel...Cancel!...Cancel!....CANCEL!!....CANCEL!!!
Gentile Exodus.
Football being canceled is just one minor symptoms stemming from a much larger illness. Sports are not separate from the world and the world is not separate from sports. We like to think that sports are encased in this untouchable cocoon (as evidenced by the long history pointed out above), but they are not. They are in the mix along with everything else in the world. And are subject to being impacted by larger outside forces/movements just like everything else.
