    Big Ten football “expected” to return

    if a season happens I can see some upsets where schools like Rutgers or Maryland may win games they usually don't because of all the disrutions. We saw a couple of upsets in the B12 already. The training camps are not what they usually are. You just don't know how covid will affect these...

    Big Ten football “expected” to return

    glad they are looking to come back and making sure they feel it is medically safe. I hope they institute a bubble type of plan to start to assure no disruptions. It is working in the NBA and NHL well.

    2020 / 21 Season: Playing in a bubble - Discussions underway

    For preseason tournaments thay can easily do this with an ECAC region setup For example: Take a bunch of NJ / NY / PA / DE / CT / MD / RI schools and put them in AC hotels with an Olympic like group stage. Play in the AC Convention Center. Maybe have like 20 teams in this bubble with 4 groups...

    2020 / 21 Season: Playing in a bubble - Discussions underway

    The NBA and NHL have proven a bubble can work. Basketball is easier than football since the rosters are smaller and the equipment needed is less / easier to transport. Unlike the Pros, college bubbles would probably need ot be in boring towns so the kids are not tempted. Imagine a bubble in...

    Big 10 Football Season to Start Thanksgiving Week?

    They should still do bubble games that is like a bowl game set up - 7-10 days before game - teams arrive at neutral location (ie. Indy, Minny, or Detroit) - teams are tested twice before the depart for the neutral site over 10 days - teams are tested again the day they arrive and then midweek...

    2020 / 21 Season: Playing in a bubble - Discussions underway

    I like the idea mechanics need to be worked out where you do the bubble and then have 1 week off before reentering quarantine hopefully with testing they can shorten the quarantine period to 1 week.

    Positives and Negatives of a Spring Season

    Was thinking about this that there are plusses and minusses to the Spring minuses - - fanbase is used to Fall football. Spring may not have as much interest - Seniors with a chance for the NFL may not be able to show their stuff and properly prepare for the combine - Seniors who graduate may...

    Big Ten Spring Football Has Momentum

    being able to start Xmas and New Years week would be good as a way to maybe work with the bowl locations and have games in warm weather cities. For cold weather months they should look for neutral site games in Indy, Detroit, Minny, and / or FL / AZ. Considering any vaccine will still be in...

    Idea for Spring football / other sports with a partial bubble

    yep, they should be online except when they can't (ie. lab classes but with precautions). These are not pro athletes and they don't have the same advantages the pro leagues have. At this point classes should be online and sports should be on hold. all it takes is 1 kid to get Covid via...

    Idea for Spring football / other sports with a partial bubble

    we want college sports but it has to be safe. The MLS welcome back tourney is a great model to follow. As much as we want college football back, we can't gamble with these kids lives.

    Canceling the Season is the Right Thing to Do

    I view college sports different from pro pro sports is needed as a distraction to the virus and politics - pros have resources that the rest of us don't like ability to test every day and be in a bubble. they also have a union and can opt out - college players are students and most will never...

    Idea for Spring football / other sports with a partial bubble

    In general football is the hardest sport to do in the bubble because of the amount of players / staff and the need for training facilities / equipment that is not easily available. My thought is: - 8-10 game season - Start mid December with games in AZ, FL, and CA with none or 25% fans with...

    Football TWO RU Players Test Positive for CV19

    has their been any progress on the helmets with the n95 material in them that the NFL was researching? Only way sports can happen is in a sequester bubble. The NBA is doing this to a degree. With college sports it is easier since they can all be housed in the same dorm and take classes...

    Amy Towers Named to BOG

    is there oversight for the BOG? It is good to have wealthy donors on it but you also need to make sure the decisions made are in the best interests of the University and not their personal interests. For example if the University makes a 8 figure purchase of Motorola products there needs to be...

    OT: NJIT to America East

    good for NJIT a few years back this school had no conference and then went to a conference that had no teams within 100s of miles. NJ is a hot bed of basketball talent which has helped NJIT get some of the 2nd and 3rd tier players. NJIT is a really good school so kids that are mid level...
