    • I think it's seriously time for UNL and OSU to thoroughly examine whether to stay in this conference...

      • The Sunbelt will probably take UNL. They might be able to compete there

          • If this was really some Machiavellian power play by the “cancel everything forever!” crowd, you gotta admit it was well played. Don’t get me wrong, it’s beyond shitty, but it’s Bobby Fischer level longterm assholery tactics.

            • Bobby got robbed against Garry Kasparov once. Fucking bullshit if you ask me.
              Shut the fuck up Donny!

              • Kasparov and Fischer never played.

                  Not really, because in this case, there are multiple successful other conferences who will succeed. And the only reason that they will succeed is because they weren't as stupid. There is no rational defense of the B1G if they cancel significantly more of their season than the SEC or ACC. The wise thing for Kevin Warren to do would be to find a way to relax the Covid measures in a way that saves face. If he doesn't, his job will very much be in jeopardy.

                    • I don't know, man. I think that you are underestimating how pissed people other than the University presidents will be. There's no place to hide.

                      • That’s my singular hope. However, never underestimate how vainglorious and self-important these technocratic fucktwat administrators are. I tend to think they’ll go down with the ship.

                        • Barry Alvarez is calling for a revised protocol. Good luck with that.

                          • In addition to canceling Saturday's game against Nebraska, the No. 9 Badgers have suspended all football activities for at least a week after an outbreak of COVID-19 cases within the team.


                            From the link:

                            Even though Wisconsin did not reach the Big Ten "red/red" level with its team and population positivity rates that automatically triggers a seven-day pause in team activities, the decision to pause was made jointly by athletic director Barry Alvarez and chancellor Rebecca Blank after the recent rise in positive tests.

                            This is entirely on Wisconsin. They did not have to cancel but decided to. While the Big Ten deserves bitching on a lot of things. Not this one. This was all Wisky's decision. Call me cynical but I think if Mertz does not test positive--they play this game.

                              If he felt that strongly about it then he should not have agreed with the chancellor to cancel the game when they did not have to according to Big Ten protocols.

                              • I agree that if Wisky had any sort of viable QB (and their HC), then they’d play.
