Of most Big Ten states have sent letters to Warren and the Presidents of the thirteen state universities requesting that fall sports be reinstated. The heat is being turned up.

Interesting fight . . . states with constituent universities vs. a multi-state, regional/national organization that provides those constituent universities a platform for exposure and money.Of most Big Ten states have sent letters to Warren and the Presidents of the thirteen state universities requesting that fall sports be reinstated.

If I were the BiG, I'd tell the political leaders to run on platforms calling for the states to publicly fund their own damned sports and education programs, and take the risks associated with them . . . and to get off my lawn.
Might as well have that showdown now . . . seems to me that the BiG - primarily as a funding source - has developed a good bit of leverage vis-a-vis the state legislatures despite your well-taken argument.Brilliant. Warren and Presidents give finger to state legislators who have the power of the purse and control the trustees who hire Presidents. That will really work well.
Here in Indiana it is also the Gov. who appoints. Works out very nicely in fact if you happen to be a former Governor who would like a lucrative gig to become President of one of those universities upon leaving the statehouse.Might as well have that showdown now . . . seems to me that the BiG - primarily as a funding source - has developed a good bit of leverage vis-a-vis the state legislatures despite your well-taken argument.
. . . BTW, do the legislators or the governors control the trustees in the BiG states? Here in the dirty souf, Georgia's governor appoints the Board of Regents for the university system.
Hmmmm . . . sounds suspiciously familiar . . . but I can't quite place who it might be . . . .Here in Indiana it is also the Gov. who appoints.

Iowa is the country's Covid hot spot right now. That's not going to help the cause. Neither is the fact that two of the B1G's presidents are physicians (Harvard and Johns Hopkins educated).Of most Big Ten states have sent letters to Warren and the Presidents of the thirteen state universities requesting that fall sports be reinstated.

Yes, it's far-fetched.Is it that far fetched to think the Big 10 could implode? I see no way Nebraska or Ohio State want to continue this current league. If the SEC took Missouri why would t they take the cash cow that is Ohio State. Isn’t conference realignment open in 2022 again?
So, despite bleeding cream and crimson, and dropping serious coin in watching IU play in person not just in Bloomington but all around the country, from Tempe to Jacksonville, I'll be enjoying fall Saturdays without IU football?To Bowl's delight,
The Pac-12 isn't playing football either, but "the pols" don't seem to care much about that. No mystery there, of course.The BIG sits idly by while the rest of college football plays
I honestly haven’t watched a PAC 10 game outside of a bowl for years. (When Oregon was good) They all start too late and just haven’t been that interesting.The Pac-12 isn't playing football either, but "the pols" don't seem to care much about that. No mystery there, of course.
The BIG sits idly by while the rest of college football plays. Without IU playing I have very little interest in watching college football this year.

It wouldn't be right for me to resort to name-calling in responding to your ridiculous comment but, if I were to do so, one word that comes to mind begins with "douche" and ends with "bag."

Im actually looking very forward to the SEC this year. Lots of good games. Got to enjoy something.
10-14 against top-25 and 2-11 against top-10 opponents.Michigan’s president won’t even return Harbaugh’s calls. Which is crazy to me!
IU is supposedly one of the 8 who want to play right now. Pursue, surprisingly to me, are a no. Along with the Michigan’s, the Illinois teams, Rutgers and Maryland.

I'm not all that surprised.

So much hyperbole in this thread. The B1G is the most valuable brand in college athletics. There's a reason it's called the Big Ten no matter how many teams there are in the league. We are the gold standard. Ohio State isn't going anywhere.
Believe it or not, university presidents don't need to talk to their football coaches about issues of epidemiology. It breaks my heart that we are not playing this year, but it is what it is at this point. The B1G will be at zero disadvantage for not playing by next season, IMO. Jim Harbaugh isn't leaving over this...Ohio State isn't leaving over this...the sky is not falling.
Who controls whom may be the key.Might as well have that showdown now . . . seems to me that the BiG - primarily as a funding source - has developed a good bit of leverage vis-a-vis the state legislatures despite your well-taken argument.

Yeah, and we should base policy for the entire country and all universities and colleges based on your single anecdotal experience.My kids have been in school since the 13th. No huge spikes and everything seems to be going smoothly, knock on wood. Our county actually went down in the state metrics for this week so the notion everything would explode in 2 weeks after school started wasn’t true. It’s pretty much exactly as it was pre school.
I don't think an IU "yes" is surprising. Saying we want to play is perfect. I doubt we play so the vote is symbolic and positive for the fans. I think the team does want to play because they think they'll be good and want to continue monument from last year. No down side to say "yes" from my view regardless of play. Thoughts? Go Hoosiers!Interesting.......he cites "strong advice from team doctors and other medical experts"........I wonder how much emphasis was placed on the 'strong advice' of the discredited PSU team doctor?
It surprises me that Mitch is a "no" vote....it shocks me that IU is a "yes" vote.
