My read on the situation is the same as SOC's. So the longer the wait, the better the odds that we may still see some football this fall.
It says they're still at work trying to get the numbers.
Season to start around Thanksgiving???
- Thread starter justino52
- Start date
It says they're still at work trying to get the numbers.
But anonymous sources have shared conflicting theories to various media outlets about how things might play out. So what time is kickoff?
Ha, you almost had me going there!!! But you tripped up!
Pacific time was a dead giveaway!
I read somewhere we are either all playing FB in the B1G or no one is! Sounds like Rutgers, Michigan, MSU and Minny are going to screw this up for all of us! These F'in guys!
I wonder why? Not everybody in the Conference plays ice hockey but those that do still compete for a league title.
I'll be surprised if we have a season this year or next. I'll be surprised if they play without Michigan or Michigan St.
It was University of Wisconsin Chancellor Rebecca Blank. She said the league would "move together" on a decision to play this fall. All programs will play, or all won't.
So, if Rutgers, for example, doesn't want to play, the rest of the B1G won't play. That's a bunch of crap.
This is why the FOIA requests and our players lawsuit are so important. If the conference bylaws allow 1 school to cancel the season for all members, we have an issue that won't go over well. On the flip side, if the bylaws don't support that and we still don't play, then we have to discuss damages and remediation.
Ding ding ding....Wisky wins again.....Jimmy crickets she sounds like ****************. This is not a jury trial.
And let's face it. Rutgers, Michigan, Lil Michigan, and Minny will not be competing for a league title in the foreseeable future either. Let the rest play.
I heard that Michigan wants to play in the spring and doesn’t want OSU and Nebraska to scuttle that plan by playing this fall.
I realize it comes down to the league bylaws... However, if this is true, then it means that a majority of the schools voted to cancel the fall season in August and the dissenters had to go along and NOT play sports. Now, the majority could want to start fall sports again in October, but the dissenters can refuse to play and it it shuts everything down?
How could that be right? Doesn't the entire league have to go with the majority?? That's what I heard in August when Nebraska said they were going to pursue opportunities to play football this fall.
Yes, it all comes down to the actual bylaws. I like the BigTen, but at the same time, this is just embarrassing for the commissioner and conference leadership as a whole.
Heard on hot mic, University of Nebraska president says Big Ten announcement comes tonight
During small talk prior to the start of a news conference Tuesday morning, University of Nebraska President Ted Carter says an announcement of the Husker football season will come Tuesday afternoon or evening.
"We're getting ready to announce the Huskers and Big Ten football tonight", said Carter in a conversation with Bob Hinson, director of the National Strategic Research Institute.
The two were at a podium, just moments prior to a news conference in Lincoln.

The ironic thing about it is that Ted Carter really has no business inserting himself in the B1G discussions to begin with. He's the SYSTEM President and the B1G is specifically tied to UNL, not the System. Ronnie Green is Nebraska's B1G Chancellor/President rep.
