In defense of the B1G, Wisconsin is swimming in Corona postives the last few weeks. They had 7,000+ cases a few days ago.
Man Iowa couldn’t have been handed a more finely crafted deck to get to the title game. I hope Mertz does well and is back to give them a wake up call to end the season.
Barry is working the 'false positive' phones as we speak. I would too if I was in the Badger football offices.
Well, other than losing to a Purdue team also hit by COVID.
The stuff that's come to light after this makes me think the Big 10 wasn't really serious about restarting. We can debate the risks associated with football and COVID all we want - but starting a season with a 21 day sit out rule and no by weeks, and making a game a no contest with a team having 5% or higher rates (which isn't that much) means games won't be played. Period.
It is going to be interesting to see what the Big 10 does here.

Their response to the pandemic had been a series of missteps.The B1G didn't really have a choice but to put these strict guidelines in when they decided to return to play. After their concerns were on the record they couldn't just come back full throttle. With that being said it's hard to not expect multiple no contests this year.
There is also a cardiac mri clearance requirement.I think it is 10-14 of not being symptomatic.
#1 and #3 are out due to protocols. What happened to #2? Why are we on to the 4th string. I think this would meet the protocol of a certain percentage of a position group being out, or is that only a Big 12 thing?
