Or it could be a genuine attempt by Ohio State to play since their President wanted a season to start around Sept. 26 - Oct. 3rd. But hey, a guy in South Carolina obviously knows more about what's going on up here in this dirty "rust belt" state than we do.
Yeah, OK.
If Ohio State really was insistent on playing football this fall Ohio State would be playing this fall. They wouldn't have allowed the schools where football isn't as important to push them around like that. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.
It's been a crazy year, expect anything. They're not letting anybody push them around, that's why things are in motion.
At Ohio State, there are 100,000,000 reasons they are saying to the Big 10, f**k you.
A pandemic caused a separation within the thinking of this conference along with ridiculous leadership. There are some schools up here that are telling others to, you do your thing and we'll do ours. It's that simple, and as I said in a thread some 3 months ago, contracts right now are worth as much as the paper they are written on.
Has the Big 10 made a fool of itself as a whole? Hell yes.
Will college football be played here or anywhere else this year/fall? I hope so.
A conference agreeing on rules, formulas, divisions, membership etc...is one thing. A conference agreeing on decisions that can cost a university millions of dollars in revenue is another. Don't expect an utter agreement in a conference as diverse as the Big 10 on a topic of this magnitude.
