MEMBER SINCE November 30, 2014
Happy we are competing but as I'm sure many others have already said in this thread, this gives the Bucks No Leeway. If we need to postpone one game because say, Rutgers needs to postpone, are we still eligible to make the deadline for the Playoff decision?
Sam McKewon of the Omaha World says it was Ohio State and Nebraska that made this happen. He said on the Finebaum show "Ohio State simply didn't stop pushing. Nebraska did too. But Nebraska could have been isolated by the media or whomever and ridiculed for its desire to keep playing, But You Can't Do That With OHIO STATE." Thank you Huskers, Buckeye Nation, and the labs who invented the 15 minute test. Go Bucks!!!!

Steve Deace, TTUN insider, confirms that the TTUN President will vote to play football because "you never fight a land war in Asia."
Thamel isn't too popular in this Forum, but he makes a lot of sense here:
Could be. Sorry about that if it is late news. The tweet from the Wisconsin Chancellor sounded ominous.
If you can believe it, which questionable at this point, Dan Patrick says they will vote today, 'might' see 8 or 9 teams will play starting Oct. 17th.
As many have already said on here, we owe Randy Wade a lot for 1) his son and 2) helping us to (hopefully) force an October start when he and his son had nothing to gain from it other than pleasure of helping other players and Buckeye Nation.
A tweet from Michael Spath, who is a TTUN insider who has a radio show on WTKA:
From a source this morning on whether Michigan's president will vote to play football: "He's trying to put out so many fires on campus that he just doesn't have the political capital to deny sports, especially when the blowback was far greater than I think anyone expected."

Dom probably got this information from the Tim May tweet like the rest of us.
Later in the game Young had a second 1/2 sack and IMO he also caused the Wenz fumble on that play but Kerrigan might have gotten the credit.
Too much to hope for maybe, but if just one of the 6 'no' votes turn to an abstain, then 8 out of 13 exceeds the required 60% 'yes' percentage.
It's probably too much to hope for, but if one of the 6 'no' votes can get convinced to abstain, then 8 out of 13 yes votes reaches the 60% threshold to overturn the bad decision back in August.
Warren and the Presidents (minus the Presidents who vote to play in October) are a friggin' clown show. Refuse to play a JV Season in November or January with a reduced Roster which is unhealthy for our players. Prepare for next Fall.
Good for him. A crisis makes interesting allies. Apparently, the Michigan President is the clear villain, along with Desmond Howard who was applauding the decision to cancel today. So, logically, by extension, he must have been strongly criticizing all the Leagues who decided to play ... right? Wrong ... HYPOCRITE!
"Corso and Desmond Howard offered their support for the two Power 5 conferences bailing on a fall schedule."
A couple of quotes from some Michigan "men":
Dean Pelton:
"So Michigan will be without Mayfield and Thomas and OSU will put up at least 80 points? No thanks."
Patrick_Star
"I think most will vote "no" just so they can deprive OSU of a shot at a title. I'm all for it. Let's hurt their national perception and bring them down a couple pegs. Let them play in the spring with the MAC. LOL!"
Wolverine Digest EXCLUSIVE: source tells me Michigan's university president @DrMarkSchlissel is who stands in the way of the return of Big Ten football. And he's even using the Michigan-Ohio State game as leverage to keep the league on the sidelines. https://t.co/IMBZR28gl8

The implication from Rittenberg's tweet is that the Presidents were given unvetted, erroneous information the first time they voted. If that is the case, perhaps that makes the first vote invalid, and thus a new vote to postpone would need over 60% of the board. Thus, postponing the Season was invalid.
There is nothing that has been done up to this point that can't be undone IF Warren and the Presidents put the B1G on track for an Oct. 10th start for those teams that want to play big boy Championship football. Get your act together and make it happen. Otherwise, they should resign and go teach a class on Philosophy at a liberal arts college somewhere on top of a hill.
Central Arkansas has played twice with no COVID positives, but the B1G can't get it done. Good job Kevin Warren. Good job Presidents.
Ohio State needs to Opt out entirely to protest this STUPID idea. Without us, the League is virtually Nothing.
Completely unacceptable. I am back on the Fire Warren train if he goes along with this.
If Warren and the Presidents drag Ohio State down by aligning a November schedule with the Pac12, or the Rutgers and Marylands of the of the B1G, then it is time to consider another path. October 10th is the ONLY answer. Don't F it up!
