Thousands of kids in Ohio and other states are playing HS football on Fridays, and hundreds of thousands of B1G students are living together on campus and attending class together. We can argue whether or not this SHOULD be the case, but if you say it's fine for kids to live together/go to school together, then canceling the season when they did/how they did was a mistake.

While I think it was dumb for them to bring the majority of students back to campus (and it's obvious why they did it), one is what college is supposed to be about and the other is "amateur" athletics. They're not really on the same plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was meant that he said something recently. WVU is my Alma Mater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling the long weekend coming up may expedite the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's smart to have high school kids playing football either. Obviously, just playing doesn't mean you're going to have an outbreak or spread it, but adding additional unnecessary to something that's already dangerous is just shortsighted to me.

Again, not debating that. I’m saying from a consistency standpoint it makes ZERO sense. 55 minutes ago, thrILL! said: The only thing about Mississippi that the world is interested in is the inevitable Kiffin vs Leach back and forth. It would be nice if they changed their flag and name from rebels. Just an observation based off of 240 years of their sordid past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Big 12 is going to pay for it. Northwestern can stay in place of MSU. Anywhere Kirk can be pre-med isn’t playing school, and the football portion is ehhhhh.

They've been in the B1G forever, so they stay, even though they're a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyPhil1781 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) https://mobile.twitter.com/MattPrehm/status/1301619203988840448 But how do we know if we're not there? Edit: If other conferences get their hands on this testing, like the NCAA should have a unified method, I bet the other conferences will follow suit. Will be interesting to see what happens. I'd be curious how many kids want to play. Seems like a lot but I'm not gonna pretend I've looked into it much Edited September 4, 2020 by BobbyPhil1781 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
