Will There Be a 2020 Football Season?

[Norhusker]

I would be very surprised if we don't play this fall after the recent developments.  Why do you think it probably won't happen?

The bleeping league is just slow-playing all of us.  Delay, Stonewall, We'll Get Back To You

Pretty soon it's too late to have a fall  season. There will be many problems for winter games...etc

i think the B1G is letting the SEC and Big12 be the crash test dummies.    let them go first and play a few weeks...if no problems arise then let our kids play.  if problems get bad keep our guys safe.

Problem is you can't wait that long and still participate in a playoff.  You have to start camp in the next 10 days or so or that possibility is gone.

They are going to play.  They look like morons right now and they know it.  They are going to play.

I'm picturing you rocking back and forth holding your knees chanting "They are going to play. They are going to play." Haha.

I'm not holding my breath either way, wouldn't surprise me a bit to have them vote no again.

Fart in your general direction! if your gonna quote Monty Python....don’t sugar coat it.  :thumbs

i wasn't sure what would get moved to the shed or not so laugh worked well enough.

Blah blah blah...Detroit free press reporter....sounds like stalling to me.

SOURCES: No vote today by Big Ten presidents, but they were pleased with medical plans and advancements. Likely to vote this week for some sort of play starting at some point this fall. @freep @freepsports @chrissolari @RainerSabin

And those guys largely let the ACC send most of the canaries into the coal mine.

 the ruling on the field is there is no ruling on the field?

I love the arguing over the meaning of an undefeated season that not only wouldn’t happen if we actually played the games but also probably won’t happen because the season itself probably won’t happen.

:waste

Yeah, it kinda weirded me out when the discussion turned into being about an undefeated season for the Huskers.  :movegoalpost:

Warren and the Presidents and Chancellors must have missed the famous reading of Profiles in Courage.

When this sorry saga is eventually researched and put into a book (and it WILL), their best hope is that the title will only be labeled as Profiles in Bumbling rather than Profiles in Incompetence.
