Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
Appears to me that interference by Russia and China in our elections have become a lessor concern than some of the politicians in our own country.

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
You know, it really ought to be a simply task to determine whether or not a vote was taken. :shock: .........and to think, there are politicians and others in this country who are advocating ‘mail in ballots’ for the upcoming Presidential Election and here we have 14 of, I would think, people who’s ...

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
Since no one knows for certain, to me it’s simply a judgement call being made by tallying the votes of the members of a governing body given the authority to decide based on how they see the circumstances surrounding the issue. Don’t worry, there’ll be an abundance of Talking Heads, Reporters, Sport...

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
Well, through all this we’re getting a view and a reminder of how the governance of college athletics is truly structured and actually functions and operates.

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
Fear of being sued is a factor. Liberalism is a factor. General Wussy- ness is a major factor. Covering your own a-s-s (CYOA), self righteousness, and no balls...... to put it another way. :roll: :roll: ........so, how do these same folks justify having 10’s of thousands of students on campus???? I...

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
What I’m curious about is what factor or factors changed that caused the presidents to vote to shutdown........ it appeared the consensus was to give it a try. I’m assuming either something changed or some predetermined milestone wasn’t met, or is there something else in play. I recall the school pr...

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
When I consider all the issues the NCAA and College Football are currently facing, in addition to the COVID Crisis, maybe a ‘time out’ would be the best thing that could happen in order have time to properly and correctly reconsider, reset, reorganize, restructure, or otherwise decide how to best ad...

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
And therein lies the problem we’re currently faced with in today’s world.... the redefinition of words such as racism and protest. Where disagreement equals racism and criminal actions equals protest. :? Thank God a Presidential Election Year only comes around once every four years. It’s a shame the...

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
Update: A FOIA Request has been issued to WVU concerning the Vic Koenning Third Party Investigation findings. WVU has has issued a statement they will respond to the request around September 15th. Interesting that WVU didn’t say they would make the report available, but they would respond to the req...

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
What’s most troubling for me is West Virginia’s decision to engage a third party to conduct the investigation and then decide not to make public the findings. Especially in light of the fact that the allegations made by the player against Coach Koenning were made public in a tweet by the player and ...

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
It wouldn't surprise me if they don't play this fall. Actually, nothing surprises me anymore. After what has happened at West Virginia that resulted in the ‘firing’, or whatever word they want to use, of Vic Koenning nothing surprises me anymore either. A player makes a tweet, a third party investi...

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Games
There is little doubt in my mind about what the priorities are or what’s driving the decision to not play the non-conference games. For sure COVID is a factor being considered, but IMHO, as a factor that has the real potential to not only shutdown a team but also to shutdown the CFP. My thinking is ...

Re: Big 10 Cancels Non Conference Game
That makes sense........ as I understand it, there’s not a national standard for testing or prevention protocol for football programs, those are local decisions.
