It could be bad for the pac but there is about zero percent chance this finishes off the big 10. They make almost 15 million more a year in tv contracts than the sec right now, they will be okay.
It would likely be an 8-10 game season in the spring and then a regular season in the Fall (ideally). That’s 20-22 games with a 4-5 month break in between and that’s IF you’re a guy who is playing in both seasons.
Pay them.
Okay but why rush? Even if you won’t want to start practicing now what is wrong with letting the nfl and other conferences start, seeing the impact students coming back to campus has and observe what happens?
This outlines why the P12 feels it can’t move forward. SIAP.
The B1G and PAC bailing places huge LIABILITY pressures on the SEC and ACC If they play. Ultimately I think not a snap is played.
Nothing would surprise me honestly.
Yes I read it, but this is advice fro medical professionals which we know can ultimately be wrong sometimes. What if these other conferences figure it out? Why postpone basketball until next year too right now? I didn’t say they had to practice but the pac could have easily just kept the current 20 hour a week schedule they have right now with workouts, online meetings, training table and waited.
Politics?
Didnt all the Basketball players get awarded an extra year?
Most programs are reporting zero positive tests among players and staff at this point, too.
Dude. Did you really say don't trust the experts?
I’m not speaking for oneal but what about the ACC medical professionals who said they can do it? Differing opinions and such
I am now officially back on the CU FB bandwagon.
Yes. They haven’t started practicing which is where masks and distancing go out the window and then students come back so still a long way to go but I thought the numbers in the pac were looking pretty good so far.
No, just that medical advice and conclusions are always tricky and there can be differing views. So what if the pac 12 and big 10 boards are wrong and a season is feasible?
You pick your experts and trust them. And Tshek, as we learned earlier, the SEC doesn't use independent advisers, so I would tend to believe their opinions are more likely to be jaded. But if those presidents trust them, they should follow them. Also, we've seen issues with non-bubbled sports. Only time will reveal covid's secrets.
