That could very well be a Mandel, Forde, Patrick, Boat tweet
Agreed but at least Dan Patrick isn't a teenager posting videos from his car lmao.
I'm going with Sgt. Thunderfist on this one. He's an MD.
This is the best news we’ve heard in weeks.
My only hope is that RU FB doesn’t end up in the B1G leper colony.
You certainly have a way with words, KM.
This is going to get interesting. A student at B10 school in the Eastern conference this week has died from COVID. It’s a little complicated as he tested positive but was in a brawl prior that sent him to the emergency room. They don’t know cause of death yet but he did test positive. My sense is that this will get out whether it is formally announced or not by the University.
So they aren't sure yet whether he was murdered or died of Covid?
Money won't even be the deciding factor, despite several Big Ten schools citing possible $100-million losses if the Big Ten doesn't play football.
At Michigan State, football generates nearly $80 million of the athletic department's $140 million in revenues, with nearly $20 million coming from football ticket sales, nearly $35 million for football TV rights, and another $1.4 million from football game-day parking and concessions. At Michigan, football brings in more than $122 million of the department's $198 million in revenues, with about $46 million for ticket sales, $35 million for football TV rights, and $2.5 million for game-day parking and concessions.
Michigan State also brings in about $12 million in contributions, often from alums, and often tied to football tickets. At Michigan, that figure is about $29 million.
At Michigan State, football and basketball profit more than $51 million, subsidizing the $25 million in losses from all other sports. At Michigan, football and basketball profit more than $86 million, making up for the $44 million in losses for all other sports.
Hey, at least RU is not in the Big 12.
Well if the normal stands true it’ll will read ...COD : viral and causal Covid19 showing signs of inflammatory Cardio Vascular and Neuro Mylin deterioration .
I wish I had the title of chancellor. Sounds pretty kickass

Cool. If they did RU, they would need to include Middlesex County Sheriff's Department citation revenue.
But that didn't stop a bevy of posters from declaring victory. 😀
Well that and add in whatever BLM support crap I find if I research the team's position on BLM and I'm afraid I might be with you.
At the least RU should get no payment. Worst case I could see us put on probation or expelled - maybe just for football(?)
The mitigating factor to that from the B1G's point of view is that if RU or worse the RU players vote not to play the B1G would likely be VERY reluctant to force them or use leverage becuaue of the very slim chance someone actually dies from the WuFlu on the RU FB team after they were "forced" by the B1G to play.
I could see RU vote to stay out and the B1G and RU agree to a reduced payment for this year. Compromise by idiots with cowards.
Create a new account called Chancellor. We'll call you Chancellor then.
Don't know about RU's stance on BLM. I do know that punctuation matters as I got a headache trying to read this.
"Playing this season may go against a president’s conscience and/or better judgment, but not playing could be a death penalty for that school’s football program.
Sitting out the fall, or even the entire 2020-21 academic year, is a tough pill to swallow for any program, to be sure. But at least all 14 Big Ten schools choked it down together, even if Warren had to hold Nebraska and Ohio State’s mouths shut like a dog taking heart worm medicine.
But if you’re the only Big Ten program swallowing that pill? It’s a stain your football program can’t wash off. If you’re sitting on the sideline while the rest of the conference is on TV every week? If your competitors are playing each week while your players go a full year without playing a game? It’s competitively devastating for your football program."

Big Ten presidents could find themselves stuck between their conscience and reality
The much-anticipated Big Ten re-vote could go down today and, based on the reporting around the conference, it feels more likely than not that the conference

What's taking these elites so long to meet and make a damn decision ? They never heard of Zoom or GoToMeeting ?
In a recent interview with our news partners at NBC4, OSU President Kristina Johnson said she's "very hopeful that we’ll be playing football this fall.”
“We want to make sure our athletes get a shot because they’ve worked really hard and they deserve a shot to play,” Johnson told reporters.
Anything new from Sir Yacht? I’m still gathering info and want to give him another shot at this.
He seems to be more interested in the Cleveland Browns these days. You can join the Yacht Club if interested. Not sure if you need a Yacht. An inflatable raft or a dinghy may suffice.
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 players subconsciously if there is an outbreak on one's campus or the campus you are playing against.

If a season happens do you get at least 10 games in? If no, why should a B1G be considered for the playoff?
Have you ordered your "Sir Yacht was Right" t-shirt yet? Act now while supplies last.
