Agree on all points, Unrealistic to expect MSM, Rush to be where Kamal and Barber were as seniors, but probably better than those guys were as freshman when they were forced to play right away.
Obviously if they thought there was no chance they wouldn't even submit a waiver.
If you have even a 5% chance to add a top 5 WR in the country do you move mountains? I would.
Unfortunately rejoining team for practice is normal once waiver is submitted and awaiting approval. I got that from Ryan Burns podcast today.
Its still great he is back with the team. But can't read further than that
Agreed. Under cover of covid axe the dead weight and magically in three years when your scrambling for another 2.7 million in the budget for football coaches salary increase you find this money tucked away.
anyone else have trouble since last week getting on the forum. Get security messages, site not safe, etc.. when trying to log on from a computer. Phone still works
The solidarity was formed around the demands that had to be met for safety (and revenue sharing) before the players would agree to play. Hard to demand revenue sharing when the season is cancelled, so now they advocate for a season to resume, but bet your bottom dollar they will turn around if...

“The question now is how long these changes persist,” he added. “Are these going to become chronic effects upon the heart or are these — we hope — temporary effects on cardiac function that will gradually improve over time?”
press hold on the panic button. Too early to say...
Schedules got released and a day later the PAC-12 Players had a ransom note including 50% revenue sharing. It makes sense that PAC-12 and Big-10 start this in liberal areas, because unionizing is liberal. If the SEC players would have had it that together they would have cancelled already too.
Maybe instead of telling us they want to be part of the Big 10, they should let Frosty know. Like "Hey Scott, FYI, if you give us an ultimatum, your going to need to get your resume in order."
The B1G and PAC reversed for one reason and one reason only. Players were showing signs of solidarity and that was quickly going to turn from "We want input on safety issues" to "We want compensation to play" By shutting down the season they remove the threat (for now) that players would be in...
Are you agreeing with him based on chart? I can't tell. I've certainly heard COVID mentioned in connection with the Spanish flu (1918/1919), which was an order of magnitude worse, more than I have a heard anyone acknowledge that its only about 3 times worse than the flu season a few years ago.
It the loss of revenue, prospect of honoring scholarship and housing, paying coaches AND if you end up having half your incoming freshman opt to take online classes at Normandale for 1/10th the cost that's going to be a apocalyptic event for the U.
They like to refer to football as the front...
I think Souhan is an oppotunistic douche bag of a writer
I think Kevin Warren is a risk adverse lawyer more afraid of doing something wrong than willing to take a chance to do something right.
That doesn't mean this wasn't the right decision.
Best part is the line about how both sides felt they were doing the other a favor by joining. Where o where would the big ten have been without Nebraska all these years. What a joke.
