President Trump Spoke To BigTen Commissioner Kevin Warren

[knightfan7]

If this is true, wonder if Trump helped it:

Sir Yacht on Twitter Jumps the Shark And Eaten Alive- He was wrong about Revote

Per Sir Yacht and Other Twitter Sources. UPDATE 9/2 11:30 p.m.: Sir Yacht on live feed saying RU, NW, Illinois and Maryland have "opted out" but that Kevin Warren is trying to convince all 14 to play. As reiterated below- none of the major sportswriters have picked up this story, so...

No. He didn't.

 

[fsg2]

I never said whining. You knew why you asked the question. Implying he should be doing something else. Don’t be mad that he saved the B1G. Just Be happy we will have more football to watch.

I didn't ask the question because I'm not Knight Shtt. You said he was upset ...just like you were when you were asking idiotic rhetorical questions. Like I said all along and you weakly tried denying.

 

[njknightj]

This is massive for Trump politically for re-election. B1G country is a bunch of swing states and these states LIVE for B1G football. If Trump can even loosely take credit for getting these people football back he will literally be a god to them. Trump gives no F about PAC 12 cuz it's mostly California schools where he will lose by such a large margin it don't matter. don't be fooled, this is all for politics.

 

[patk89]

No. He didn't.

Come on. How do you know whether he helped, hindered, or had no impact? We get that you hate him.

 

[BROTHERSKINNY]

TRUMP = Best. President. Ever! Talks sense to the Big Ten. Biden is Hiden in his basement and Trump is getting the country living life! Go Trump. Go USA!

If they're gonna let these threads survive, posts that may have inconvenient facts to a certain side or a certain person kinda have to survive. If not, they could always do the easier thing, which is auto lock this stuff, this post included.

And before this one goes, safety with regard to this virus is by nature not a political matter.

 

[NewJerseyGuy]

President Trump is waking up America!

What a great day!

 

[BROTHERSKINNY]

That dope Biden said he would shut the entire country down again! Meanwhile Trump is getting personally involved to get the country doing what we do best, living a great american life, which includes college football. Thank you President Trump!

 

[letitrip2]

Good For the president - sure it is politics but I for one like the move. Say what you want about Donald J but he always has his finger on the pulse.

 

[BROTHERSKINNY]

This is out of Warren's hands: the presidents and chancellors will make this decision.

Alright Rutgers fans lets start hitting the phones and email and call communicate with President Holloway. We want football this fall. Lets do this!

If you said the opposite it'd be deleted by now.

It’s not that exciting dude. We are going to suck and there will be no fans.

Lol. I just assumed he responded. I didn’t realize you were his secretary or kept track of his feelings. You must be so sad there will be more football. Beautiful, Glorious, Fantastic football. They should have a member of the Trump family do the coin toss at each venue that first week. Glorious.

 

[IMARUFAN]

I guess Trump heard the B1G plans on playing this season after all.

He wouldn't have called otherwise because then he'd look inept if they didn't play the season.

But now he can take full credit for getting the league to play when they do. And you can be sure he will. Typical Trump.

He'll call the PAC12 commissioner if and when he gets confirmation that they too plan on playing as well.

 

[BoogieKnight]

False. There are actually those of us who believe it's the right decision ...or an understandable one. I'd love to have cfb to watch, but was never anticipating it and don't think the grassroots crying campaign is going anywhere. I couldn't care less about some perceived impact on politics. Other sports have been a joke; I don't expect a very good cfb season no matter what.

Actually, some of the people complaining loudest now were also among those speaking loudest about how there wouldn't be a cfb season at all this year. They seem to think blindly following the southern conferences is suddenly the right thing. Excuse others for not seeing it that way.

It may ultimately have been the right decision. People are pissed (and rightfully so) that the B1G:

a. threw their hands up and cancelled (not postponed) so quickly when this is a very fluid situation.

b. immediately proposed a "winter/spring" season as soon as the other conferences didn't follow suit which indicated some waffling on their part.

c. have not been completely transparent from the get go as to how this decision was reached among the presidents/chancellors in coordination with the commissioner.


My take has always been this. Nevermind "blindly following the southern conferences." As long as the service academies are determined to try and find a way to play, so should the B1G. If Army and Navy pack it in and think there's no way it can be done, then I'd be fine with the B1G shutting it down for the season.

We are going to have to agree to disagree. I turned on the TV this weekend and saw many high school football games on TV (north and south). Then I watched the college game at night. I kept saying to myself the B1G really jumped the gun. Even NJ will be playing high school football in a few weeks. We are at the point where we have to learn to live with it. Plus the financial loss to the B1G not playing has to be weighing heavily on the schools right now.

Also, the NHL and golf have been great since they came back. Baseball has been a cluster and the NBA seems to be fine. In all looks positive to play for now.

 

[knightfan7]

Dude, I thought scarletdave and KF7 were the two most miserable libs on the board but you have them beat by a country mile. What the hell happened in your life to make you so miserable. It can't be because Trump is president, something more personal than that has to be responsible for what happened to you. Sorry you are so miserable, maybe when Rutgers is playing football again you will feel better!

With all the whining you've done here over the past couple years, calling someone else miserable is comical.

 

[Knight Shift]

If you are asking the question you are obviously doing so because you think it’s not important.

But that is different than being upset. We don't need to continue this, as it is going nowhere, and I agree with good amount of what you post.

 

[RURM85]

Pete Thamel's why Trump's tweets about the B1G playing aren't going to make a difference.

Why President Trump's Big Ten tweets aren't going to make a difference

Despite Donald Trump's tweets, the most realistic timeframe for the Big Ten to play remains early January. But it's clear the president has found a political piñata, and he intends to whack away.

Main board is looking ugly today.

 

[Mr Magoo]

I wonder why he doesn’t care about the PAC12. Odd.

Lost cause out there

 

[Mr Magoo]

Delany was a real leader. He would have been leading from the front, not behind. Never would have come to this.

+1. I have to wonder if Delany didn’t back this guy to make himself look even better.

 

[Scarlet Haze]

Biden responded to Trump trying to get the B1G to play this fall. "He's only doing this because these are swinger states with swingers and you know, with the covid, on a chilly day, how is that possible , come on man you know the thing"

 

[bac2therac]

Thank you Mr President

 

[vkj91]

I can't stand Knight Shtt; I merely found you lecturing him about asking questions downright hilarious. Thanks for conceding the point - now follow up with no more stupid questions.

I am quite happy ...because I'm eager to see what RU looks like. And the B1G and PAC are really the main leagues I watch. Also, more content to watch. All of which is quite different from your incessant whining that the pandemic took away all your toys .. I'd be happy regardless because my life doesn't revolve around teenagers playing a game.

For the 1000th time, it’s not about me. I know that’s hard to understand because you are selfish. It’s about all the small business owners getting crushed because of decisions that have NOTHING to do with science. But as long as Pelosi can visit a salon.....

 

[ScarletCrimson]

Talk about mixed feelings... man. Can't let the heart beat the head on this one.

 

[skindawgs]

Was he able to understand bunker Donnie?

 

[Caliknight]

He doesn't care about the PAC-12 and wants to push the B1G to play because they are in swing states. Has absolutely nothing to do with the good of the schools or the students. Just like a previous poster said, it's all about politics, just depends which side you're on.

Good. I am on the side they should play. LIke the players themselves. This has gotten so dumb.

 

[rurichdog]

It’s not that exciting dude. We are going to suck and there will be no fans.

With Greg Schiano on the sidelines, at least we have hope for the future. And games on TV means income to pay those bills.

Great strategic move and consistent with his approach to most everything else. Open it up, play. He said the same about every professional sports league and is saying the same about big time football.

Always refreshing to read how some of our fans play the Gloom & Doom game.

Armin sounds like he’s disappointed if we play this Fall.

The service academies motto is “Adapt and overcome” maybe if more of the people on this board had a can do attitude like the service academies we Red hat wearing MAGA supporters wouldn’t think of you as cucks!

Seems disappointed with most everything. What a downer.

Rutgers would be better off playing in the Spring or Winter. We need all the time we can get to catch up to the competition. No doubt about that.

the poster you referenced actually blamed red states for why we have no football...and this guy is the first to cry political in the threads

When the red states were blowing up I said they will likely cause the season to be cancelled, which almost happened and may still happen. I’m not even sure if I called them the “red states” or just the south, either way it was an easy way to group up the states that were blowing up at the time. What is the confusion again?

president dumb dumb is on the one yard line, only 99 more to go. He’s got to be one of the dumbest people on the planet
