A little off Topic, but I just got off the phone with my brother living in the home town of Ferris State Univ. Div2. They are not playing football, but the kids are all back on campus in the dorms, frats and other housing taking 90% online classes, except things like labs. Do you think theY wanted the room and board money? :dunno Unbelievable. If it’s anything like my kids doing half time high school, they spend little time doing school on off days and go hang with friends anyway, but whatever.
Will There Be a 2020 Football Season?
- Thread starter BIG ERN

None of which refutes the fact that Warren didn't make the decision. Also, do you have a source for your claim that Warren is the one who presented the myocarditis stuff to the presidents? To me it sounded like it was one of the presidents who brought it up (Michigan's?).

This is the issue - we dont know what happened when, where or why. The decision (if one was actually made by the Board) is being hidden - to protect the innocent? Pleading ignorance is not much of a defense when your job requires your attention. Saying I am guilty of not doing my job is not a good way to justify your continued employment.

It appears Nebraska is ending state imposed mandates next week.

If we do end up with football, looks like we will have the ability to have fans. Without restrictions, I do think we will have a hard time selling all the seats though. KC struggled to sell 16k for their game last night.

It appears so - I posted it before reading all the details. Lincoln rules look they will remain in effect.

Maybe
But I was in western Nebraska last weekend and no one was wearing masks anywhere we went minus a couple of waitresses.
however we do have our share of older fans. I’m guessing we could get north of 20,000

Alluded to other, no actual quotes.

Good article with timelines on the canceled season announced by warren. All points to mayocarditis being the big deal that swung us from an updated schedule to a cancelled season a week later. https://www.google.com/amp/s/saturdaytradition.com/big-ten-football/heres-the-thing-that-continues-to-baffle-me-about-kevin-warren/amp/

Exactly this!
The Big Ten commish is making $4.5 million each year. What exactly is he being paid for right now?
Dang it. I bet Texas fans were not allowed here. Do I have to pack up and leave now? :ahhhhhhhh

So if the season gets started on Oct. 17. Instead of now like the other conferences. Due to postponing based on bad data provided by some guy at Penn State. What kind of financial loss will each university incur due to losing roughly 4 games each due to incompetent leadership? Sounds like a lawsuit.

If they are going to play 10 games starting now or 10 games starting Oct 17th, there isn't going to be much of a difference.
Where the problem is, is if the games are at remote indoor fields so the U and community businesses lose all that money.
