I would speculate that OSU and/or UM has had a hand in guiding the conference in making this decision. Both probably figured had more to lose than to gain with early cross country travel for non-conference games.
The way things are trending. Nebraska, at least before school goes back in session, has been doing fairly well in all of this while most of the rest of the nation currently has not.
Maybe it's a pause and not a loss. Hoping soThey're definitely getting canceled. Sucks that Omaha will miss out on the revenue for a Final Four too.
everyone knows that virtually everyone and both political parties have admitted there needs to be a balance between optimizing safety and trying to live some sort of reasonable lifestyle. So that is what everyone is trying to do. it is not about solely one over the other. So this appears to be trying to strike a balance. to my knowledge the league only schedule is more about having lots of open dates so teams that have a lot of positives can take a week or 2 off before playing another game. it gives flexibility in a world that demands flexibilityIf your at risk stay home
I would say yes. It'll be a conference decision made conference wideThe way things are trending. Nebraska, at least before school goes back in session, has been doing fairly well in all of this while most of the rest of the nation currently has not.
Is it possible that Nebraska would be able to play while much of the conference cannot? What happens then? Would NU have to cancel the season because the eastern states in the conference cannot play?
their political agenda at the cost of killing grandmabeing selfish about what
and protesters being selfish
I'm doing my part.I blame everyone not wearing a mask and maintaining social distancing for everything being canceled. If you can't do those two easy things then you're both selfish and an ahole.
A cut up old t shirt over your mouth and nose isnt stopping Covid-19. N95s can mitigate your chances. But a cloth or surgical masks are nothing more than a show of solidarity.There isn't going to be a season because people in this country are too stubborn to wear a mask that drastically reduces transmissions of the virus.
Driven by tv revenue. Times slots will be filled with conference action to make sure members participate. They can be rescheduled during bye weeks if necessary. No payout to non con teams.Explain the thought process behind having a season but only with teams that you have a conference affiliation with? Less likely to catch the rona from Rutgers as opposed to Cincinnati?
Just set a date of August 1 and have set parameters for whether we play the season in totality or cancel. Review after every 2 weeks. This whole approach is silly.
Actually two layers of cut up old tee shirts has been proven to work pretty darn well.A cut up old t shirt over your mouth and nose isnt stopping Covid-19. N95s can mitigate your chances. But a cloth or surgical masks are nothing more than a show of solidarity.
Actually, you are protecting others by wearing the mask from anything you may expell while talking, coughing or breathing. It's for others protection unless you don't care.My prediction is in two weeks it will be announced there will be no fall sports. To many hire up people that have the sky is falling attitude. Problem is most of these colleges sports programs will be broke. I’m neutral on a mask wear it if you want to but if you choose not to I’m fine. Again the virus will still be around, it’s not stopping if you social distancing or wear a mask.
If a person isn’t infected why should you wear one? I’ve been tested I’m negative I don’t think I need to wear a maskActually, you are protecting others by wearing the mask from anything you may expell while talking, coughing or breathing. It's for others protection unless you don't care.
Any facial covering is better than nothing at all, especially in combination with social distancing with a minimum of six feet.A cut up old t shirt over your mouth and nose isnt stopping Covid-19.

And that pretty much sums up how we got in the current situation.If a person isn’t infected why should you wear one? I’ve been tested I’m negative I don’t think I need to wear a mask
NoAnd that pretty much sums up how we got in the current situation.
I thought the ultimate goal was to save lives, not maximize profits. What happens if there's a huge outbreak in Columbus Ohio? Are they allowed to cancel? What makes big10 teams any different than any other team if the goal really is to limit the spread/death toll?
From what I read they did this not due to location but to be able to easily control and make adjustments on a moments notice to not have to try to work with other conferences.Explain the thought process behind having a season but only with teams that you have a conference affiliation with?

yeah but do you really trust the person next to you, that may have it, that may cough on you and then you’ll get it for not wearing a mask to prevent you from inhaling it? I sure don’t.
I honestly don't think we will see any sports till 2021 football season.After NU hoops lost to Indiana in the B1G Tournament, I said that NU hoops will be the next sports we see.
Agree if we want any chance of football it is going to have to be played asap. Basically let "fall camps" start now and try to start the season by Mid AugWell said. I don't have an answer to any of that, but my guess is that there may be built in bye weeks or even a week or two at the end of the season where a game could be moved by to. Or... since we're lucky to have any football at all at this point, just cancel the game and some teams may only play nine games, maybe eight games, whatever.
I hope they plan on starting the schedule as soon as possible. I don't see any logic in moving it back toward fall or even playing in November. COVID is expected to be worse by then anyway and it's not like the pandemic numbers will get better in early August anyway. Just wait until these schools get rolling with their plans for 100% attendance. Add schools to everything else that's already caused problems over the summer. Let's see how things go then.
Then. Stay. Home!
The conference and their members just painted themselves into a corner. No season and no on campus classes this year.
You can't publicly recognize that your actions and allowances may kill people and take half measures without opening yourself up to huge liability. This was really stupid.
"Yer gunna git yerself killed in Chicago anyway" response coming in 3, 2, 1...Hey, if you want to take the blue line to downtown Chicago without a mask on, be my guest. Otherwise, why don’t you stay home?
Just like Lebron's statements about black folk being hunted. Delusional."Yer gunna git yerself killed in Chicago anyway" response coming in 3, 2, 1...
Did they take measures to ensure the safety of people because of h1N1?Were they liable when H1N1 was going around?
Do you plan on wearing a mask for 1,2,5 years? This virus is hear to stay. Best thing we can hope for is a treatment that stops it, simply because they still don’t of the cure for the cold since it’s also a virus. I will add that today’s media isn’t helping the situation, so much scare tactics and not keeping us informed on different positive treatments.yeah but do you really trust the person next to you, that may have it, that may cough on you and then you’ll get it for not wearing a mask to prevent you from inhaling it? I sure don’t.
