Big 10 Officially Cancels Season (Now confirmed)

[KOdawg1]

PAC12 will soon follow due to lack of leadership and a spine. The SEC, ACC, and Big 12 have a great opportunity to be American heroes. There's talk of those three having a combined season of sorts.

[Extendedcab]

What not just cancel life? We are all doomed, the sky is falling and we are all dead anyway - right? :confused:

[was21]

may be more like grasping for straws to try and salvage some kind of season...it's a big letdown in so many ways, particularly livelihood of college towns businesses

Geographically, those two could easily join the Big 12

IF the SEC does play the ratings will be through the roof.

[TrapGame]

The SEC, ACC and B12 could still play and have an expanded playoff.

That would be pretty cool.

[TrapGame]

IF the SEC does play the ratings will be through the roof.

Recruiting might go through the roof too. Kids wanna play. And they wanna play in conferences that "get it".

Let them, Clemson, Iowa, and Nebraska come.

[KOdawg1]

Let them, Clemson, Iowa, and Nebraska come.

I'd honestly be okay with getting our brains beat in by those teams as long as we have football. Ohio State and Clemson that is. I think us vs. Nebraska or Iowa would be interesting.

[StarkVegasSteve]

It's hard to fathom the Big 12, ACC, and SEC going out on their own. It's definitely doable, but would be tough. The mass of transfers that would be coming from the Big 10 and presumably the Pac 12 would be mind boggling.

Again, I'm hoping it happens so I'm all for figuring this out and kicking off. The TV ratings would be through the roof and if I'm Sankey, Bob Bowlsby, and John Swofford then I'm probably on a conference call with CBS, ESPN, and Fox right now deciding how we could make this work.

[Quaoarsking]

Any Big 10 WRs want to come here? Our depth chart and offense should have them all salivating.

[Commercecomet24]

Truth.

[FISHDAWG]

Recruiting might go through the roof too. Kids wanna play. And they wanna play in conferences that "get it".

yep ... the big 10 is already arrogant for no reason ... let them watch us play while they are sitting home pissed ... AND the recruits that left for other conferences ...... this will never happen because it's what I want - sorry guys but it's on me because doom, despair, and agony follow me - and all the rest of that Hee-Haw crap

[msstate7]

Any Big 10 WRs want to come here? Our depth chart and offense should have them all salivating.

How many spots do we have?

[KOdawg1]

How many spots do we have?

Zero. Only way it could happen is if the league made an exception to increase roster sizes or if some of our players opted out.

[parabrave]

Heck yeah. Now in the future ALL the top players will want to play for any SEC school.

[MagicDawg]

I hope someone tracks the health of all the players in conferences who AREN'T playing so that we can see if they were really safer compared to players in conferences that DO play.

Assuming that anyone plays at all.

I cannot believe Ohio State ain't pitching a bitch, they are legit contenders.

LOLOLOLOL TheY just think they want to be in this league.

Wouldn't be many transfers this late in the game, most teams have pretty full rosters.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Unlimited Transfers?

Ole Miss can cut their ENTIRE team and transfer In all the Buckeyes

[Commercecomet24]

Trevor Lawrence said it best last night. The players are safer being on campus and playing football than left to their own devices(and he wasn't just talking about getting covid).

This is his exact quote" People are just as much, if not more risk, if we don't play. Players will be sent home to their own communities where social distancing is highly unlikely and medical care and expenses will placed on the families if they were to contract covid19" "Not to mention players coming from situations that are not good for them/their future and having to go back to that. Football is a safe haven for so many people. We are more likely to get the virus in everyday life than playing football. Having a season also incentivizes players being safe and taking all the right precatuions to try to avoid contracting covid because the season/teammates safety is on the line. Without the season, as we've already seen. people will not social distance or wear masks and take the proper precautions".

He's not wrong.

They're probably calling all the commisioners, ADs and presidents of all the other conferences today begging them not to play!

He is not wrong. But the only difference is what are people being made to do versus what they choose to do? Most people can be as safe as they want to be outside of work situations, and should be as safe as they can even with slight sacrifice being made. Even then, they can take matters into their hands to minimize their exposure. Student athletes, in some regards, do not have this ability. I fully agree that most people get into just as many covid situations through doing random things when they do not have official things to do. Usually not face to face, sweat and spit, direct physical contact with other players.

The ones that don't want to play can opt out without losing eligbility. The ones that want to play can. They can choose for themselves.

Sounds like it's gonna come down to the Big 12. Seems like the ACC and SEC are ready to roll.

I would think the NCAA/SEC would allow additional scholarships if there's a glut of transfers coming in, but even if they don't, I'm sure we can make room for a clear upgrade at a position of need.

I thought there was a previous tweet in this thread that said only Nebraska and Iowa voted to play .... sounds like a vote was taken- maybe just a test vote

No they've realized their attempted coup to strongarm CFB has been a MASSIVE failure and now they've got to go back to the table to figure out how to make it work. Round 1 to Greg Sankey.

The Big 10 coaches and teams literally revolting against the presidents has honestly been pretty great entertainment.

Coach Sherrill just posted this on facebook: "I know many think the Presidents and ADs are making the final decision on whether we have a football season for 2020. We are forgetting that the decision of each state is made in the Governors office".

As most of us have been saying there are real political motivations behind a lot of this.

Scooba changed the title once the Big 10 started back tracking. At the time, it seemed pretty official.

Correct. as a matter of clarity from now on I will edit the post to note if i change the title when needed. I thought about re-titling this one completely (and if I do, I move the original title into the OP) but tings are very fluid right now on what's true or not. but officially isn't the correct word.. some blogger that I had never heard of wanted the scoop.

[KOdawg1]

Football ain't happening in the spring. That's just a way to kick the can down the road in order to save face.

[BB30]

Yep, especially if some conferences play in the fall this year. It wouldn't be feasible unless the big 10 just wanted to have a season of its own in the spring.

There is no way they could play a spring season and then turn around and play a fall season 3-4 months later.

If some conferences play this fall it could be the end of the NCAA as it currently operates.

[ScoobaDawg]

Yep..confirmed.. no fall sports in Big 10. Now what the Pac 10 do.. and what do any teams from those conferences do?

I think you can say the same for Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Texas. So with Mississippi that gives the play side 7 schools.

We won't have spring sports either. Not if the virus has to have zero cases......

South Carolina and Louisiana Govs will play FB. I'm surde ARKY will want to play also. This might be our chance to get rid of Missouri and pick up another Texas team
