SI: College Football Leaders moving to cancel season
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
I’ve never been so proud of our Big12 conference. This was the right play, this was the power play and we didn’t *$#@ it up for once. Personally, I feel like the ghost of Dan Beebe has finally been exercised.
Amen!
and as for other spot about it just being TX and OU..it is nearly the opposite..both those schools have 1st year presidents..heck tx President is interim.. Better believe ISU and few others are helping to lead the way.
I mean, if Michigan wants to come into Jack Trice as our +1, you'd have to consider it, right? With Ball State out, the spot is wide open...
Seems like the honeymoon is over and buyers remorse is setting in. I’m sure the MAC will take them.
The Big 10 assuming that the other Power 5 conferences will just follow their decision to cancel the season reminds me of Will Farrell in Old School. Remember this scene?

Holy sh17, these Big10 talking heads on TV refuse to understand that the Big12 has autonomy, that we don’t have to kowtow to the demands of the mighty Big10. The arrogance and their refusal to understand that they won’t be playing football this fall while the Big12 will be, is baffling.
All of their guests are saying the same crap, “The Big12 May be able to start the season but they won’t finish it”.
Personally, I think they’re shitting their pants.

Was just about to post this article. I thought Nebby back to the B12 was a 0% chance of happening but after reading that I’d give it a 5-10% chance.
I hope the Big 12 tells them to kick rocks. I don’t want them back in.
People need to slow their boats in both directions.
1 - BigXII is largely just playing a longer wait and see approach. From what I’ve heard there is a pretty even split on if football should be played and the consensus was to wait until early September to see how things are trending. There is going to be more talk of possible bubbles and enhanced monitoring but they are relying on some outside medical professionals as well.
2 - It will be popular talk for a while but I’ve been told there is absolutely no chance of Big Ten teams playing this fall unless they decide to permanently leave the league. Nebraska will make a stink but it’s all bluster.
3 - I’d put odds on Big XII kicking off on Sept 26th at 20%. More than anything, they want to show that they’ve done everything they could to make it possible and only time will tell if it really is.

Yeah I have a big bag of something for shatel and any Nebraska fan that thinks that is true. How many times can you take your ball and go home?
Maybe a 5-10% chance that Nebraska would want to. There is zero chance the Big12 takes them back. They aren't the big name program they used to be. They made some noise with the coaching hire, but he's driving them further into the ground. There's no upside for the Big12 here.
Thinking more about it.....maybe B12 should talk to nebr, draw it out, maybe make it public. Then decide nah sorry don't need you. Tough to go back to b10 with your tail between ur legs.
Interesting on the wait and see thing. I feel like there’s no evidence over the past 6 months to suddenly expect that things are going to get better in a month.
