Who do we Replace Iowa WIth?

[Cydkar]

If the Big10 goes to a conference only schedule as is being rumored, who do we replace Iowa with? UNI at JTS? Or should we find a Power 5 school in case FCS is cancelled?

B12 will do the same.

This hurts and is going to have catastrophic consequences for college sports -- ones that I do not think people really understand at this point. And I mean that in two ways. People do not appreciate it, and I do not think anybody knows how bad it could get.

But I guess that is no different than many other industries right now.

I am afraid you are going to be right.

For those of us who have been shouting death to the NCAA for years, this is an incredibly ****** way to get what we wanted.

And here I thought only their wrestling team ducked opponents

Drake, of course, because we all want that nightmare again.

The reality is with 40% of the conferences located in what will show to be a disaster in the next month, there’s no way big 12 football can be played.

we’re up to 100 deaths a day here now. And 10000 positive tests/day. So that number will increase bigly

The Season:

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

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

 

[Acylum]

I'd assume Iowa will help them out, but I honestly don't know.

Yeah because they certainly don’t have any huge financial liabilities looming on the horizon.

Bingo

It’s probably more contractual stuff with the conference/partners than any safety considerations.

 

[Cy$]

conference games start about a month later (usually, not always) than non-conference, that's probably what the NCAA will throw out as an excuse. The reality is this is step 1 towards no games. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Obviously the Cyhawk game is the biggest talker around here, but I was looking forward to watching that Oregon-Ohio State game

It's not quite as stupid as the NFL banning postgame jersey exchanges between players, but it's not far off.

Did Rome fall because they lost their gladiators or did they lose their gladiators because the empire fell?

Do cable companies have to pay the BTN the same monthly fee when there is no live sports on the channel?

Big advantage for the Big 10 if they do have to keep paying.

 

[jdcyclone19]

UNI football/sports might be in trouble if they don't get that check from the Hawks.

BOR will make ISU and UI help keep UNI athletics afloat like they have in the past.

Let’s see if there is a season before we worry about Iowa.

 

[Cyclad]

I agree with your point, however, I imagine it is more about limiting exposures and keeping the bigger money games. I doubt it matters, because I think they will all get cancelled anyway.

Nobody

 

[brianhos]

Not worried, ISU will do this next.
