That word snowflake..I don’t think it means what you think it does.

Someone better get these B1G parents under control.

You mean those bearing the brunt of the risk that you claim to stick up for...the players and their parents?

I think the Big10 screwed up. Players want to play. The people that love the players more than anyone---their parents---think its safe to play. In a related note---all these schools are now looking at huge financial losses that tax payers will be having to pay the tab for (at least for the public schools). That really isnt a good PR position to have to defend when you arent willing to even show your data (likely because its less about the data and more about an unreasonably high fear of a law suit--which means it was always about money--not safety). Im not even going to get into the fact there is a very good chance they relied on flawed data---since almost all the data we have is rushed and not peer reviewed. Hell--we are finding we cant even accurately count test results in most states (mine included).

Big 10 and PAC 12 did the right thing. CUSA, AAC, ACC, Big 12, SEC, SBC and the Independent schools are doing the wrong thing.

So playing on a football field is more dangerous than going to a bar or restaurant? These athletes will be sitting in classes and dorms together all year. There is a lot at stake here. Gotta move on with life at some point. The PAC 12 and B1G are not being socially responsible. They are being politically correct. We are not incubating baby chicks here. These are healthy stout young men.
