  • Conference USA is still tentatively in it too.

    • Warren is not a leader if it's not his fault then. Fire his ass.
      Shut the fuck up Donny!

      • I don't like Warren any more than you do, Wiz. But, I think all he's done is put into effect what the presidents want. I don't think he carries any kind of authority to overrule them.

        Its kind of like Roger Goodell and the other professional sports commissioners. They are hired and paid by the owners, and they will never, ever oppose what they want.

        • So the ACC, SEC AND BIG 12 Presidents all saw this so differently? I have a real problem with that liney. I don't think that's true. I think the other conference commissioners were more influential and much better leaders than Warren. The Pac 12 just followed the B1G. Warren is a fucking pussy.

          • At least Warren’s kid gets to play in the SEC, so it’s all good.

            • The whole thing is infuriating.

                  • It's still not too late. It's too late now probably for a ten game season but not for a shorter one.

                    • I'm not holding my breath though BTW.

                      • Kind of unclear what the basis for that lawsuit is. The Big10 has no legal right to postpone or cancel its own football season?

                        • Does seem pretty weak.

                          An FOIA request seems open and shut though. if there was a legitimate vote then surely somebody took notes and tallied it. Let's see those notes.

                          • I think the Nebraska parents are suggesting that a football team in a conference is more of an association and not something that is under absolute control of the conference and that a unilateral decision to cancel a season - which is against the wishes of the university president, the AD, the coach, and the players - is actionable.

                            I don’t think it will go anywhere, and it is likely more just to officially and formally register disapproval.

                              I can understand suing for damages. I don't know if you'd win but that seems like a reasonable basis for a case.

                              I guess I don't know this either way but just because the Big10 canceled the season, does that mean Nebraska is forbidden from setting up its own independent schedule if it really wanted to?

                                I don’t know your bylaws. I think that’s part of what the Nebraska suit challenges.
