Penn State AD Sandy Barbour:
"It's unclear to me whether there was ever a vote or not," she said when asked directly how Penn State president Eric Barron voted. "Nobody has ever told me there was. I just don't know whether there actually was a vote by the chancellors and presidents.
"It is clear to me that Penn State and Eric Barron both on our campus and as he took his thoughts to the Big Ten and the various conversations that they had, explored every option to play -- every option that would have been acceptable from a health and safety standpoint," she said. "To say that Dr. Barron fought for the ability of our student-athletes to play this fall, I think that would be a correct assumption."
So here we have an AD at one of the flagship athletic departments in the conference intentionally casting doubt on the legitimacy of the process the BIG used in order to cancel the season.
Not butthurt Nebraska throwing a tantrum.
1). Has the BIG ever communicated there was a vote?
2) Wilbon and Howard can kiss 100% of our collective ass. Frost was guilty of going to the mat to preserve our season. He didn't cast aspersions about how this went down.
3) This has moved from "shitshow" to "clown car" status. And this car has a driver. His last name is Warren. How it's possible to cancel fall sports, and require each University to walk away from 75, 100, 150 million, whatever it is, without a communication plan and buy-in from the conference member administrations is beyond incompetent.
