    All big10 ADs wanted a fall season

    This can't be true because I just heard this weekend from a Nebraska fan that Minnesota was the only school that unanimously supported moving to Spring, implying Coyle supported it. AD's were never going to make the decision, nor should they have. So who cares? How many heads of the...

    Iowa to discontinue four sports programs

    Six. Any less than that and the conference won't sponsor it, and teams can choose to compete in other conferences or independent. That's why B1G Hockey became a thing when PSU went D1 from club. I can't remember which sport, but I know there was something the B1G was pushing a school to keep...

    All Things COVID-19 College Football Impact

    Yeah, even if the student is dirt poor (might be richer than Scrooge McDuck for all I know) there's no saying his treatment might not have been as good or better elsewhere. I don't think HCMC is giving crappy treatment based on economic status, for example. Everyone just assumes these players...

    Besides the game, what will you miss the most about Gophers athletics this fall?

    Tailgating, our gameday friends (we and the people who sit behind us have sat in the same spot since the stadium opened and we've gotten to know them). High fiving and hugging random strangers after a huge play (I almost got tackled by the gal next to me after the interception at the end of the...

    The Big 10 made a huge mistake, change my mind...

    Agree completely. The issue I have with playing in Fall is when a team has an outbreak where too many players must be sidelined (which will likely happen), now what? Do they forfeit? When do you make up the game? It doesn't seem like they've taken that into account. For an example, look at...

    If football is pushed to spring, does that impact the start of the 2021 traditional fall season?

    The NCAA. They increased the roster limit but not the number of scholarships. Not a counter sport, so a little different. Maybe with the counter sports they will add, but I'd be surprised. I'm not sure most schools want 100ish scholarship players after a year of severely decreased revenue...

    If football is pushed to spring, does that impact the start of the 2021 traditional fall season?

    They didn't for Spring sports. Can't imagine now that the precedent has been set they would go back and do that for Fall.

    No, Nebby, you will NOT play outside the Big Ten...

    It'd be different if the B1G said they were not having a football season this year period. Then I'd understand teams that didn't agree with that decision trying to find other options for a year. But if the conference is moving to spring, then I have an issue. You made a choice to join a...

    There will be College Football This Year....

    I think another reason is the Nebraska issue. If a school or schools opt to play Fall while the rest of the B1G move to spring, what then? They won't be able to play both seasons, then there's the TV money question - do they get to share money from BTN with the b12 (or whomever)? Do they...

    If football is pushed to spring, does that impact the start of the 2021 traditional fall season?

    This doesn't seem unreasonable. Though I honestly doubt that Spring will happen. Another side effect is that there likely won't be early enrollment from HS seniors since their seasons are mostly getting pushed back and since they wouldn't be eligible to play this spring (I'm assuming). The...

    What do you think about this conference

    Long term, no thanks. I'd be disappointed if a B1G school opted to play fall football if the conference decides to play spring. I'm not sure if the conference could do anything to stop that or not. Could increase the Gophers' chances of winning a B1G championship, though. Maybe this...

    Eddie Cole: Playing college football in 2020 would continue to devalue Black lives

    I'm sure we're going to agree to disagree, which is fine. Besides, it's looking more and more like a moot point. For me saying black students' lives are being devalued means that the decision is being made knowing it will disproportionately affect BIPOC people and making the decision anyway...

    UConn cancels the season

    Say what you will, but I think this is the kiss of death. Just like Bateman leaving will spur other players to leave other teams, UConn canceling as an FBS will give other colleges that aren't as supportive towards athletics an excuse to cancel the season. Think MN under Maturi. He'd probably...

    Sid: Could college football go to regional nonconference games in the future?

    To answer Sid's question - NO. Not for the long term. If they did that teams that are closer to a bunch of P5 schools would have a huge advantage w/ strength of schedule. Not to mention teams can only have one FCS scholarship opponent count toward Bowl eligibility. The Gophers would struggle...

    Eddie Cole: Playing college football in 2020 would continue to devalue Black lives

    He is implying that the universities are making the decisions they are because they don't value black lives. Again, I don't care if football was exclusively white, exclusively black, something else or exactly what it is. They would do everything in their power to keep it going simply because...
