Who do we Replace Iowa WIth?

[Brandon]

So let's say we find another opponent and then the big 10 flips on there stance?

VERY interesting..

not really. Since that presser three P5 leagues have basically voiced their doing away with non conference. Big Ten. PAC12 and ACC. If you think the Big 12 is gonna be the ones that keep things as is you’re crazy.

Notre Dame. They won't be playing Wisconsin. Play them in Lambeau.

I only thought it was interesting because you'd think they'd make the same move soon. That indicates the Big12 isn't going to make that decision soon, which I believe is stupid.

Randy doesn't have a tweet response from Pollard yet?

 

[ISUTex]

I also don't see how conference games are any 'safer' than nonconference games.

No kidding. Probably safer for iowa to play iowa state than Maryland, Rutgers or Penn state.

I bet they make the decision within days. Which I agree is stupid. Just do it now. You know it’s coming.

I think this has to do with conferences being able to put out individual guidelines for their schools. Since the NCAA isn't the higher power really, the conferences are the ones setting the standards. Going from playing one conference to an FCS school could screw with things.

What's the SEC doing? It's possible the SEC and B12 are going to hold out and try to play non-conference games. Somewhat of a SEC/B12 alliance.

Lets say there's football in 2021. Ours (and i believe iowa's) schedules are set up in such a way to guarantee a certain number of home games each year balancing this game with the conference schedules. I assume this wouldnt change anything with regards to who would host in 2021? Though i imagine a lot of hawks will ***** about that

All time through 2019:
Cy-Hawk series games in Ames: 28
Cy-Hawk series games in Iowa City: 39

Since series was renewed in 1977:
Games in Ames: 20
Games in Iowa City: 23

I think they will survive missing a game in Iowa City.

So the real question is, when the Big 12 cancels non-conference games, who will Iowa State double up on in order to play 10 games? I think Kansas is going to get a lot of calls.

9 game season and then a 4 team conference championship tournament I know, I know, never going to happen.

 

[BCClone]

Who is our nearest P5 not in the Big10? Missouri?

Kansas

Bob when he has a new text from Randy:

 

[yowza]

I don't understand either. How is a U of I game with Rutgers more safe than a game with UNI?

Because conference games matter more than non-con games. This reduces the number of games which would allow them to space out games more if and when needed. Rutgers was not on the schedule. Likely will end up with Indiana if taking the team with closest proximity not already on the schedule.

This doctor says Covid-19 is no more deadly than the flu for people under age 70. "We know that the infection-fatality rate for people under 70 is 0.04 percent -- that's less than or equal to the seasonal flu," he said.

I know that it is taboo to compare it to the flu in most circles. But why is it so hard to find data like this in mainstream news articles?

So, did the B1G contact all 42 non-conference opponents to discuss this, or just unilaterally, and in my view selfishly, decide what was best for them or what they simply wanted? You can't make this decision without directly affecting so many other schools and conferences and all of their student athletes.

Just appears really selfish or snobbish or short-sighted, maybe all three. Maybe I'm not being realistic but it seems this should have been more of a group discussion or decision to include other conferences. This has the appearance of, "I'm taking my ball and I'm going home!"

Big10 sacrificed their home date; we should get to host next year. And, this also ought to go down as an ISU win by forfeit.

How was your first camping trip with Pastor John?

There was an article that stated Iowa and UNI met over the phone to discuss this. Guessing they did so with the other school's as well. I would be surprised if they dropped this bomb without conversing with everyone involved.

That's essentially the attitude that's gotten us here, so not exactly shocking.
