Now they just have to move it to the spring and we’ll be all set.
I was getting kinda hyped about the idea of spring football being a possibility...
Liability Gotta be a big part of itOkay. fine. Not arguing.
How does this help?
Limiting liability?
Allows B1G teams to follow specific protocols that each team will know their opponents will follow?
saves money (somehow?)
just makes a smaller universe of things to worry about?
I dont disagree - I'm just trying to understand the argument that this is what they announced....
Pretty ridiculous to give us Wisconsin. B1G always doing us favors... I'm sure Northwestern declined to play us.
Not buying it, lol. Why couldn't we play Northwestern? We're both open 9/12 and 9/19.The way it works out with already scheduled crossover games and also with schools that have 5 home conference games vs 4 home games that's how it ends up. With it like this everyone has 5 home and 5 away. Nothing is final yet of course but it makes sense. If they go to all divisional games first I think that would change the added crossovers some.
Penn State @ Illinois
Ohio State @ Minnesota
Rutgers @ Wisconsin
Michigan State @ Nebraska
Indiana @ Northwestern
Maryland @ Purdue
Michigan @ Iowa
Open dates and current scheduled game dates also used to determine who plays who.

Brings me back to my days of scheduling hockey leagues--everyone thinks the scheduler's goal is to screw their team over, and forgets that a schedule is a jigsaw puzzle where if you move one piece, it affects all of the other pieces and sometimes there is only one way for it all to fit together.We can't play Northwestern because, other things equal, that would leave Indiana to play Wisconsin. Indiana already has Wisconsin on its schedule.
Question, what do we do with the following fall schedule? If that happens, at some time very soon, they have to right size it and skip a season anyway- why not skip a season when it F-ing makes sense...You cannot play two football seasons in a single year.Now they just have to move it to the spring and we’ll be all set.
You see you don’t really have to win, just hang out with the big boys for a while and people think your one of them.Thats awesome. I’ll take it.LolFrom Kerry Drew on Fox5 this morning: "Rutgers is the ONLY local team in the Big 10, along with other powerhouses like Ohio State"
It has been a long six years since Rutgers joined, but I really liked the sound of that!!!
No, every contract has an “Act if God” clause, to allow cancellation of the game due to things like hurricanes, or earthquakes, global pandemics, etc with no penalty to either partyDo we have to buy out the Monmouth game now?
I have no problem with that set up. Rutgers can even keep our season ticket groups money as a payment for next year. However, if they ask me for another seat donation next year, another sport will suffer. As I will deduct from my annual donation to that sport in lieu of getting the shaft. I've been very generous through the years for an attitude of simply "participation" but my generosity ends when you try to pull a fast one.This decision basically kills the idea of spring term football. That's good. Playing in the Spring 2021 and Fall 2021 was a recipe for a lot of injuries.
So if this moves forward, fans or no fans? I say let the students attend the games with social distancing. No other fans permitted. Watch it on TV...
This apparently was addressed, and not to worry. I could not find where this was taken from, but it was posted in another thread:I have no problem with that set up.

There's nothing to wonder about, they addressed it a couple of months ago:
Updated COVID-19 Disclaimer: If an event is postponed, canceled, or otherwise altered due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rutgers Athletics has made temporary changes to the refund policy to provide options for both ticket purchases and RSF seat fees (if applicable).
- Transfer payments as a credit towards a future purchase that season or the following season. At the conclusion of the following season, unused credits will be voided.
- Change the allocation of payment into a tax-deductible athletic donation.
- Receive a refund for the postponed or canceled event.

Have you played football at this level while attending school and for the most part, still a “kid”?Maybe start the fall season a month late and/or remove the OOC games from there as well?
Who says you can’t play two season in 1 year? Why not, 20 games spread over the course of a year is not the end of the world.
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch (assuming we can't include conference mates in our schadenfreude for purposes of this discussion)Notre Dame is screwed
It will be the lower tier teams in the ACC that get screwed...just sayingCouldn't happen to a nicer bunch (assuming we can't include conference mates in our schadenfreude for purposes of this discussion)
So, all of the ACC teams except Clemson will get screwed? :Sly:It will be the lower tier teams in the ACC that get screwed...just saying

There are a couple in that group, not Leperchaun or JoeBot level of course, but worthy of a swig.It will be the lower tier teams in the ACC that get screwed...just saying
Irishskins!?ND will come out on top. College football will probably have to pay them reparations and they will be allowed to change their nickname to something even more offensive.
we have no idea where the CoVid situation will be in late December... well.. some idea.. but that's months away.. this is about the halfway point from where CoVid became an issue.. could be much worse or much better or about the same by then.So you're saying its not ok for Wisconsin to play ND at Lambeau Field during the year, but it will be ok for them to play in a bowl game. uhuh
And we visit them.. of course.Pretty ridiculous to give us Wisconsin. B1G always doing us favors... I'm sure Northwestern declined to play us.
You checked every schedule to confirm this? I haven't but why can't tOSU, PSU, or MSU play Wisconsin?We can't play Northwestern because, other things equal, that would leave Indiana to play Wisconsin. Indiana already has Wisconsin on its schedule.
There will be too much pressure from special interest groups to cancel the Fall season unfortunately.

The goal is to add games to the schedule that don't involve moving currently scheduled conference games, create a balanced number of home games for everyone, and don't repeat a matchup that is already scheduled. Giving Rutgers (or any particular team) a winnable opponent is pretty far down the list of priorities when you already have the aforementioned obstacles to overcome in making this schedule work.You checked every schedule to confirm this?
