Will There Be a 2020 Football Season?

[WyoHusker56]

Everyone with half a brain has figured out that a late winter/spring season isn't going to work or happen. It was dangled out to soften the blow of postponing things, but it blew up in their face because it's obvious it doesn't work. If it did they'd have already proposed the option. The fact is some teams want to play now and others don't and that's fine. Let each school do their thing and let's move on and hope 2021 isn't weird. Also, let the athletes on teams that opt out freely move to whatever school they want at this point. That might change some minds.

Penn State health guy who Warren relied heavily on in his decision to cancel our season Is shown to be very sketchy. 
 

The  “study” on myocarditis the penn state guy quoted was just something he had heard about verbally. The numbers he quoted of 30-35 percent  infection rate were more than double what the study stated. Turns out the study was flawed as well and there are zero cases of myocarditis being reported in football players anywhere at any level nationwide. 
 

How does warren put so much faith into a study that has so few details? A verbal account is somehow not vetted at all? The myocarditis is supposedly the thing that put warren over the top in canceling the season-wow.

Yet somehow we need to find 9 votes to reverse the stupid original decision? Even bigger WOW.

So nationwide we have no student hospitalizations

We have no student deaths

The big bogeyman of myocarditis has been proven to be a fraud

High School football being played here

College football being played here

With all the money and resources the Big10 has and somehow they can’t pull off football?

This can be laid squarely at the feet of Kevin Warren and mark Schlissel. 
 

One is in over his head and trying to be a Thought leader national hero in getting college football cancelled with terrible data, little to no input and a ridiculous understAnding of time. He wanted to be first and have everyone follow, patting him on the back until he takes over the nfl.
 

Mr Schlissel, sure brilliant man and stodgy blue blood Michigan man elitist. He could care less about sports and is all about making Michigan and the big 10 more Ivy League like.

I knew his pic would look like before I even looked it up. Only thing missing are those stupid patch things on his elbows

Of course he is from New York and educated at princeton and worked at brown before Michigan.  He may have never touched a football, let alone watched a game. Typical Elitest regular guy hater. Under his direction. Michigan now has the highest tuition of any public university- yes they want that elite snob tag and proudly wear it.

Why is the big 10 not playing again? 

Poor management. I think when they originally cancelled, they thought they would set the tone for the rest of College Football. When the rest of college football carried on is when the trouble started. Now Warren has to convince all the teams to be on the same page. Northwestern and Rutgers lose money on sports - and there is already debates on those campuses on why they waste money on sports at all, its not shocking they wouldn't place a high value on sports during a health crisis. Nebraska and Ohio State make massive profits and sports support a lot of the local economy, its not shocking they would clear any hurdles in order to play. If were waiting for those groups to agree with each other, we're gonna be waiting for a while.

Imo, Michigan's current stance is the only thing keeping the BIG from moving forward.  If Ohio State and Michigan were united, the rest of the conference would go along or be left behind.  A few other schools have major pull but not like those two.    

 

[Omaha fan]

Michigan politicians at least from one side of aisle are pushing the BiG10 and Schlissel to play.

Im guessing the Princeton/ Brown man Won’t be  very swayed by anyone not equal to his stature, let alone some  elected officials voted for by the rabble in the state he resides in.

Word is start date of October 17 with eight league games plus a CCG is gaining momentum. 

Vote possible this weekend.

Warren didn't make the decision.

 

[Undone]

Yes

Michigan seems to be in this camp. Their man doesn’t want to play no matter the vote

But it makes so much sense though to just say that, for the 2020 season, anybody who VOTES TO PLAY plays.

You'd play most teams twice. Hell, at this point I'd watch us get blown out by Ohio State twice just to watch some 'sker ball.

Honestly I think it would be pretty awesome to just watch them sit out. Who really GAF?

The Michigan team and people there very frustrated president Schlissel hAs not shared why he decided to vote no

Looks like he did little research and didn’t ask for input from anyone

Warren didn't make the decision.

He presented to the presidents and included this nonsense faulty study about myocarditis. He was also responsible for not having the protocols in place with 5 months lead time.
