Would love that to be the case, but fear it’s later. I do also not want to play a team that’s played a few games and then only have 2 weeks of preparation. Could look like Iowa StateGame on play ball!
look for 10/10 or 10/17. Rumors out there maybe 1-2 OOC games 10/3 and 10/10 then conference starts 10/17.

Wonder what capacity would be 25%?
Hope not. If HCSF and the boys have made this much noise they better be prepared (as well as all coaches) to really show up this year.
10/17 looks to be the date according to every report out there. We have to have our CCG on or before 12/19 to qualify for bowl games and playoffs.
Realistically we can't start later than October 10th.Seems to me we have to start by 10/17 or it really is just glorified scrimmages. Nebraska needs the games to improve regardless, but teams like OSU Penn State and a couple of others are playing for so much more. If they have a November start that rules the BIG 10 teams as irrelevant on the national landscape.
They are voting today, part of me thinks they
have to feel like they have the votes or they wouldn't be voting today. The other thought is; this is their last chance to vote and start a season on time????

Not 100% true. We start 10/17 play 8 games and then the CCG. The CCG has to be completed by or on 12/19 for the CFB Playoffs and NC.Realistically we can't start later than October 10th.
That's with no off-weeks during the season though. Doesn't seem like it would be fair to the players to not get a break somewhere along the line.Not 100% true. We start 10/17 play 8 games and then the CCG. The CCG has to be completed by or on 12/19 for the CFB Playoffs and NC.
i never said go independent. The BIG 10 could still be involved with each BIG 10 team that chooses to play.
Lets say the Huskers, OSU, Iowa, PSU, Indiana, Purdue and Wisconsin all decide to play. Each team could play each other and then maybe add a non conference game or two on top of that (Or not). That would allow money for the conference and each team that plays. There are ways to do it, they just have to try. Instead they are making it harder then it needs to be.
Simply put, let each team make their own decisions. Once you have the numbers, who’s playing and who’s not, then roll from there.
That would be fantasticGame on play ball!

That's the date I was told back in AugustRealistically we can't start later than October 10th.

Will that be a forfeit then? NO WAY games could be rescheduled. No room for error now. Unlike the original planNeed to take into consideration if a team or two test positive for COVID and can’t play that week there is bye week..
There's no reason they can't get this thing rolling by October 10.Realistically we can't start later than October 10th.
Where is this talk about non conference games coming from?
Or are they anticipating some teams won’t participate..
First and foremost we need to get a 60% vote for any chance of any teams playing this fall..
What I’ve seen, heard, and read from the paid board is the following:
- There wouldn’t be a vote to continue postponement (the vote is occurring to overturn the “original decision” even thought a vote never happened). They have all the votes they need to for sure play.
- The OOC games is coming from comments made by coaches that players will be ready in 2-3 weeks. If the conference starts on 10/17, that doesn’t mean NU couldn’t play sooner with OOC opponents (seen several posters mention this)
- The 10/17 starry date being “too late” and if that is what the BIG wants; teams might be able to play on 10/3, 10/10 etc with other opponents.
Be careful what you wish for, lol.Thanks... Never thought about it but FCS schools would be willing to play like ND State and some others..
At this point I would prefer conference games only or find teams that haven't played either.Be careful what you wish for, lol.

Since it’s most likely all in conference, both teams should be fairly rusty, so it wouldn’t hurt as much to start earlier, I suppose. If they’d want one ooc game, I’d play that later.They play All Star games all the time with a week of practice. You would think elite athletes on the same team could get ready in three weeks or less.
My question would be how are they going to get a non conference game or two when most schedules have been made..
Only way would be if the PAC 12 starts the same time and we don’t see that happening at the moment..
