Will There Be a 2020 Football Season?

Chances of a 2020 season?

  • Full 12 Game Schedule

    Votes: 20 36.4%

  • Shortened Season

    Votes: 13 23.6%

  • No Games Played

    Votes: 22 40.0%
  • Total voters
    55
  • Poll closed .
Also Michigan: *some of the lowest positive test % for not only the big ten but the country*

These guys are weak. Either shut down the colleges and go to online or open everything back up and full send.  Games are already being played. The results from both high school games and college are quite positive.

The idea that this is still being considered, but no info is being disseminated to the coaches or AD's makes me really wonder what's actually going on. It is a BAD idea to play multiple games in the Spring, then another full season a few months later in the Fall. That's been debunked as an option for a while now. So why haven't they come out with any kind of concrete plan?

As crazy as this year has been, you'd think they'd be concerned about the mental well-being of the players (and coaches) such that they wouldn't keep stringing them along like this.

As frustrated as the fans are, it must be x100 for the guys on the team.

Ya it's absolutely insane. They suspended the season on August 11th. You can't tell me that with people working on this everyday they don't have anything concrete nearly a month later?? People whose full time job isn't coordinating a conference have put out more details than the B1G has at this point. It's really become a spectacular lesson in how not to do this and we're seeing inept leadership in a lot of ways.

Took the Purdue coach all of 48 hours to write up a mock spring plan. These guys have had since March/April and what we've seen is pitiful. Going to be hard pressed for the commish and some of these university presidents to stick around long if this is the type of leadership to be expected.

I don't see how Warren doesn't at least give an interview or press release with an update. Right now coaches and players are practicing for a possible October or November or Winter or Spring or Fall 2021 football season. What a s#!tty way to treat the people you work for.

Now the politicians are getting involved. 

At the very least, Kevin Warren should be on camera explaining everything that went into the decision, and whatever other machinations may be happening after the decision, weekly if not more often.  

It's bad enough they canceled football. It's worse that they're so closed-mouthed about everything.

I don't know why everyone is looking at your Commish.  He doesn't get a vote on whether to play college football, 14 U Presidents do.

Getting in front of the camera and disseminating information on the process is his job. We don't need to hear from 14 COC/P's, that's why they hired him.

It reminds me of the NFL team owners pretending they are held hostage by a man that they could fire.  

If I was a State grandstanding politician I would be writing the U of State President demanding to know how he voted and how he made his decision.  I guess I'd CC Warren on the email.

I think the politicians of these various states would be better served asking for information directly from the heads of these schools rather than writing a letter to the Big Ten in general.

Most of these schools take state funds. They're answerable to the various state legislatures. Haul 'em in front of a panel and ask them how they voted and why.
