2021 Season Notes

There's a difference between sports. Ohio State was already a top 5 team when polls were first released. The Big Ten isn't looked at even one of the top 5 baseball conferences. That's where it's going to hurt us. And the conference has just been on a great stretch of showing up. Just because we don't play any local schools or non-cons why does that make you think we will be safer?

^Yep. I get athlete safety but there is no basis for it being any safer. Also it's okay for B1G Basketball teams to travel all over the country to play in the ACC challenge, when COVID was raging in December, close contact sport, indoors. But Nebraska Baseball can't drive 40 minutes to Omaha to play a non con game, outdoors, in May (when half the country is projected to be vaccinated). 

 
I'm not disagreeing with you @FrantzHardySwag

I'm simply stating that IMO athlete safety out weights competitive risks. Keep the athlete's safe while allowing them to compete. Might seem foolish (does seem foolish) when discussing a 40 min trip but i'm ok with it if it keeps our athletes healthy. Besides, I've yet to hear any of our athletes complaining. The only complaints are coming from the public boards..

I realize these guys are from Illinois, but I'm guessing our guys we're told not to speak out about it. I think a majority of B1G players will be disappointed they won't get to experience a full season.

There you go guessing... safe guess I'll give you that. Still doesn't justify risking the health of athletes... (and again, like you, I too am not happy the difference is, I'm ok with conference only, better this than no season at all.)

 
Moos confirms the ADs voted for conf only games. Guess the other ADs didn’t want to find/pay for 10 more midweek bus rides to better their programs and please their student athletes. I hate this conf more by the day. 

 
This is 100% about saving $ for the conference.  If the NCAA baseball tournament generated the payout the basketball tournament does, there would be nonconference games galore, and the schedule would've been published long ago.  Bolt has to be chewing nails on how the conference treats this sport.

f#&%ing awful. I’m not kidding when I say big 10 has pretty much ruined Husker athletics for me. Our style doesn’t fit in in football, we’re not good enough to be a factor in basketball, and they don’t give a s#!t about baseball. Changing conferences was dumb as s#!t minus the money - which the average fan could care less about. 

 
I'm sure I'm not alone here but dang, where's the media here. Why no outside media pressure addressing the ineptitude of B1G conference leadership. We're 3 weeks out from first pitch and still no schedule news.. The CWS is represented by a B1G conference team 2 years ago (runner up to the championship but still..) and it's like the conference doesn't know the sport exists. WTH B1G? Media.. do your job and start asking the questions please and thank you!!
