Not to be too critical because I appreciate whatever support OSU and or its players, media and fans may publicly do to help get Big Ten to see the light before the sunsets, but they should have offered a public statement of support the day Frost spoke up before the alleged vote against fall sports.
After the milk is spilled is too late in all likelihood. They could have filed an amicus brief on behalf of our players or joined in as co-plaintiffs (fans/players or media).
I am surprised a media type has not joined as well. We all want to know just what really happened (who, what, where, when and why somewhat anyway).
I personally am curious as to what is so top secret about Big Ten by laws? Why take the time and effort to redact when all that was needed was to point and click a few times and send a file? Take about ten minutes?
Minutes of meeting are probably a few dozen pages with some discussion/commentary that may or may not be necessary but the dates, times, board membership present, locations and basic protocols for notices, topics and so on are reasonable. Boards must have basic operating rules to assure that records are accurately kept and actions taken are in due process and lawful. Closely held private corporations need to follow basic formalities to conduct business lawfully. This is elemental to being allowed to be a chartered organization operating in society to lawfully conduct commerce and engage in activities effecting commerce and the public generally. Surely all can agree the Big Ten is impacting America in myriad ways materially. Big Ten has hundreds of thousands of public school students and billions in economic activity.
