One week after announcing the Big Ten season schedule, they cancel the season.
Who didn't see this coming?

What’s that great sucking sound you hear from the sports networks? Money going down the drain. Question...do the players keep their free ride and tutoring etc?

This is going to cost them so much money. I feel bad for the players, but I have no sympathy for the liberal infested administration.
Spring football will be an oddity, a mild curiousity, and the money they get will be a small fraction. Football may survive, but all the sports football supports are in real danger.

Of course they do. Just raise tuition on the non-student athletes!

Spring football is dumb. Don’t do it. 2020 is a bust. .. Time to prepare for 2021.

No, I don’t think so. It certainly would not be sanctioned by the NCAA or by the colleges and universities. So no stadiums, no uniforms, no equipment etc.

To: Yo-Yo
However, the combination of outspoken coaches and the #WeWantToPlay X #WeAreUnited movement that developed suddenly late Sunday seemed to give pause to the five major conferences.
Not to mention PDJT pinning it to the top of his Twitter feed. These are state universities and they came under tremendous pressure from Democrat Lockdown Governors.

Just cancel all sports and be done with it.
Hell, that’s what they intend to do anyway.

I don’t know about that, but there was lots of coverage on local Nebraska news about Scott Frost and the players, all saying they want to play football, and they’ll play whatever teams can play if Big 10 cancels on them.
Hopefully there is not some huge penalty by NCAA and/or Big 10 for schools to go ahead and make up their own schedules, outside of the conference.

No players really good will play in Spring football. They will sit it out for the NFL draft, or other reasons.

Good. Anything that screws with university revenues is a good thing for the US.

I know many here dont, but some people actually like sports. This dumb idea that a missed season is going to break a habit is just that...dumb. Kneeling for the anthem, too much wokeness, etc might turn people off for good, but this stupid COVID insanity aint going to do it.
