THIS is probably one of the most rational logical posts regarding influenza and COVID I've seen on here. That said, these guys can get flu shots. Hopefully it ends up being a good match this year. Hopefully there's a COVID vaccine available in January as well. The cold season thing might not be all bad. IF they get a Corona virus cold BEFORE the COVID there's a chance they'll have cross protection to COVID.
That would conveniently give the B1G TV revenue and screw schools like NU out of all of the gate and concession money they normally rake in.
Would be horrible for our beloved Huskers, but also Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State. Owners of the 3 biggest stadiums in all of college football.
Read Dr. Schlissel's bio and you'll understand what is going on here. He's a native of Brooklyn NY. Attended Princeton and has been at Brown University and Cal Berkeley. He's an internist by training including a stint at Johns Hopkins in Boston and a political appointee of a blue governor. There's no way in hell either Michigan school is playing football this fall. Tell me how sports are viewed at Princeton, Brown and Cal-Berkeley.
Yes, the people , yes the people need to just say NO ! We will not be part of the isolation self destruct hive movement, ! We’re tired of mask up and looking at other human beings like they are leper’s! Yes we can take precautions, much like wearing a seatbelt, but what are we in the end if we
Agreed. Don't be fooled, "postponed" is just lip service because Karen Warren is a coward. There will be no football this winter.
Sensible, rational, normal people like ourselves aren't going to protest, much less gear up and go riot and loot.
Unfortunately what your saying is true, but the heat is slowly being turned up on us boiling frog s
i appreciate that, but if you're going to play - it makes most sense to do it now.
Rick Snyder (a Republican) was governor of Michigan when Schlissel was appointed. Of course the University of Michigan president isn't appointed by the governor anyway, but it sure sounded good while it lasted.
my bad. He is in fact a "progressive" Ivy league indoctrinated M.D. though.
Pretty shocking that Rick Snyder allowed him to be appointed and then kept him around for five years. What the heck was he thinking?
Here is what I don't understand. At this point it is clear that there was no official vote. That there is heavy division between presidents, ADs, and coaches. It appears that at least Nebraska, Penn st, and Ohio St did not agree to or support the season canceling. Why are these 3 or 4 or however many universities band together and speak out as one what really happened. If Warren is lying, why not call him out publicly on it? What is he going to do ? Seriously? Kick them all out of the BIG10? I doubt it. I get the conference unity thing, but we are in unprecedented times, will millions of lives and dollars being affected. Now is not the time to get in line and shut up.
It’s odd that Ronnie waited until after KW sent his note out to state that. Why so much secrecy for over a week?
wow- that’s my AD!!
If much of any of what Jeff Snook says is true, than all the people defending Kevin Warren by saying he's a powerless figurehead can quit with that. My feeling all along on Warren has been, regardless of whether or not he has a vote or any "power"; he certainly can talk and try to convince of his viewpoint. We already know from a report that came out a few days before the official announcement that Kevin Warren preferred trying a spring season, so he clearly was going to be arguing for that. If what Jeff Snook says went down is true, sounds like he was pretty successful.
I have a feeling he is pretty well unliked by a significant portion of the B1G fanbase. My biggest worry with him is he'll turn into the next Roger Goodell. A lot of NFL fans dislike Goodell, but the people who actually have the power to do something about his job, the NFL owners, seem to like him well enough. I hope it doesn't become like that with Warren, where he is roundly disliked by most B1G fans, but the people who actually have the power to do something about him; like him.
This is probably true. It reinforces my original thought all these leftist, know-better-than-the-average-smuck presidents and chancellors were more likely following the lead of the Ivy League than the other P5 schools.
My Gawd, you hate "liberals".....guess you hate the authors of the U.S.Constitution...
Love liberals. Hate leftists. Big difference. Fixed.
will be sidelined by early October. Heck NC and ND going virtual already. Just the start unfortunately.
Spoiler alert, they've all had "a corona virus" for the last 18-22 years of their life. Each and every single one of them.
EXACTLY, The UN predicts 130 MILLION people face starvation by the end of the year. Cure is far worse than the disease.
