That may be true in the long run. But this way will be painful. For the athletics programs, for the schools in general, for the cities that will lose millions of dollars of business revenue without a football season, and for all the people whose work depends on tens of thousands of fans spending fall weekends in their town.

A brutal decision during brutal times. It's the best decision for health and that should be the primary factor. Too many unknowns.
I can't stop thinking about business models. So many require large groups of people to physically cycle through.
The impact of cancelling the season will be painful and long. Small businesses who require fans will have a hard time staying in business.
Special Note: In my opinion, Frost is being self-serving. Playing politics with state for personal gain. I think it's weak. If they go play elsewhere (can't believe they would have that option) they can move on from B1G.
Go Hoosiers!

Guy's a jerk. He should have stayed at UCF as he's in over his head in the Big Ten. Can't wait 'til we beat him again.
Why couldn't they have all athletes sign a waiver that doesn't place responsibility on the university if they come down with the virus? It seems like that would alleviate some of the concern about playing athletics. Are all the conference schools having students come back to campus? If that is the case I don't know why playing sports would be any more dangerous than mingling with other students in classes.
