BIG: "We are instituting a 21 day mandatory quarantine policy for anyone who tests positive for COVID. Also, if 5% of any team tests positive, their game is cancelled"
Also, that myocarditis study the B1G used to initially cancel the season was pretty lame. No control group and various other studies from the past showing athletes had a greater chance of heart inflammation due to the physical stress they put on their bodies.
It's always easy to second guess when it turns out the concern wasn't warranted but at the time they didn't know.
Poor Clemson. I guess they’ll have to suffer through their 5* backup QB taking snaps again BC this weekend
I'm interested in seeing this other guy play, I've seen some highlights. I know he has a cannon, big dude, and is raw. I didn't want to butcher his name.

The purpose of bowl games is to bring people to the bowl city and for them to spend, spend, spend. That’s not happening this year so what’s the point?
The bigger bowls have big TV contracts but most of the lower end bowls barely break even even with normal attendance, and that is giving the teams payouts that barely cover the cost of attending (if that.) In at least some of them the payout includes game tickets that the participating team is expected to sell to generate revenues.
we don't have any byes either, just that weird 7th game slot. So weird that none of the sports thought byes were a good idea. Basketball too.
Any leadership that pisses of Fuskers is ok in my book.
A Bye week would at least provide some flexibility to reschedule a game, if needed. Certainly not perfect and doesn't help more than one missed game, but would have been a very logical thing to do, rather than what they've done. The Pac 12 is included in this idiocy as well, but like everything the Pac 12 does, it's actually worse. A shorter schedule AND no bye weeks or flexibility.
I still fail to see difference between scheduling 9 and having one cancelled vs scheduling 8 and having a bye week. You still end up with 8 games, assuming the bye week works for both teams. In order for that to happen, you'd almost have to schedule the same bye week for everyone.
All BIG teams with 8 games and flexibility is better than some teams playing 9 games, some with 8 games and some with 7 or 6 games played. And yes, I mentioned a uniform bye week a long time ago. Thought a full week off midseason or before CCG would provide an opportunity to reschedule games so teams in the same conference are playing a similar amount of games.
I'd rather see more (Exhibition) games than get caught up in the number of games being even. And anything that screws Huskers. That's actually my first priority.
I haven't read it yet, but am definitely interested
