Got it. For the record I’ve never said the B1G made the wrong decision, I’m just not happy with the timing of the decision and lack of transparency. It would be so refreshing if one of these presidents/chancellors or Warren himself would be totally honest and just say “we don’t want to be liable if someone gets really sick or heaven forbid passes.” I think people are just fed up with the vagueness and hiding behind medical reasoning that is being proven to not be as dire by other programs having played several times. If it’s the ultimate CYA situation then just come out and say it. Ends the speculation that its political.
Rutgers not changing it’s NO Vote

Holloway very early in his tenure is proving to be a huge disappointment. Like President Trump he had a huge opportunity to lead and instead has decided to trail behind other BIG programs. I’m so disappointed.
Bc I’m so disappointed in the dnc that for 2 election cycles in a row they completely messed it up.... Hilary was unbelievably corrupt and Biden is in early stages of dementia, meanwhile had the dnc done the right thing and put Bernie in Trump would be a dead man walking
Syracuse is in the middle of nowhere. It’s stupid (i.e. litigation risk) for them to play with the quarantine order too - but they also aren’t within an hours drive of multiple densely populated metro areas and several international airports. Some player, staff member, etc. from Syracuse could still get Covid and die and then the family could link it to an incoming team on Cuomo’s ban list - but the risk is basically containable to that. In NJ you could have people who get sick after coming in contact with the travelers claiming the connection - whether valid or not. As the president, Holloway has to consider these risks in his assessment of what’s best for RU - it’s not only a football decision.
Bottom line. The pro teams coming in and out have rapid testing ironed out teams and players entering and exiting from quarantine states. The BIG does not and that’s what Holloway states as the reason why he isn’t ready to switch his vote. It doesn’t sound political to me rather well thought through based on the current hand he was dealt.

Bottom line your entire argument is void as absolutely no current athletes at any level have died from this... not one. Hell you have a bigger chance of dying at a Maryland football practice running wind sprints than a 18-23 year old athlete dying from covid.
This actually makes Rutgers and the BIG look incredibly worse.
If Syracuse and the ACC can put health procedures in place to abide and satisfy Gov. Cuomo then what the hell has Rutgers and the BIG been doing since July?
Gov. Cuomo and Gov. Murphy said from the beginning that they would allow teams to play football and be exempt from Quarantine rules if they had proper procedures in place.
Syracuse/ACC seem to have figured it out but Rutgers couldn't?
Gov. Cuomo and Gov. Murphy are pro-playing football so the Quarantine List isn't a legitimate excuse for Pres. Holloway.
I'm baffled why just about everyone in Washington and Oregon is dirt dumb.
care to explain when you take a break from setting fires?

😂😂😂😂 you posted here under 2 usernames for months. Wow hahahahaha
Yep, yet they are still playing. You know you’ve lost an argument when you are reduced to bringing up Qanon.
Your position is typical fascism. You know what’s better for people than the actual people. The height of arrogance. I’m sure it plays well at those university wine mixers though.
Its their new talking point straight from the DNC to Nicole Wallace lips
Arson sucks
Your antifhole buddies are allowed to do whatever they want in your neck of the woods, idiot

Ok, if I accept he didn't close down the economy and states did than state and local officials need to takes the blame for the vast majority deaths due to COVID in New York City for downplaying the virus to their residents. I am sorry if the facts don't back up your TDS arguments.
"[New York] City Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot on February 6 acknowledged that the virus could spread from person to person, but attempted to reassure residents that that type of transmission would be rare outside of households.
“The important thing for New Yorkers to know is that in the city currently, their risk is low and our city preparedness is high,” Barbot said. “We know that this virus can be transmitted from one individual to another, but that it is typically people who live together. There is no risk at this point in time…about having it being transmitted in casual contact.” Earlier in the month, Barbot encouraged residents to attend the Lunar New Year parade in Chinatown. The neighborhood had seen a sharp drop in business as the coronavirus engulfed the city of Wuhan, with China subsequently locking down much of the country.
City councilman Mark Levine, head of the City Council health committee, attended the Lunar New Year parade on February 9 and urged his constituents to join him.
“In powerful show of defiance of [the] coronavirus scare, huge crowds gathering in NYC’s Chinatown for ceremony ahead of annual Lunar New Year parade,” Levine wrote on Twitter alongside pictures of the festivities. “Chants of ‘be strong Wuhan!’ If you are staying away, you are missing out!”
By the time the Lunar New Year parade arrived, it was already clear that a humanitarian disaster had occurred in Wuhan, as evidenced by the chants at the parade.
Barbot continued through the beginning of March to reassure New Yorkers that they could carry on with their business so long as they took a few minor health precautions in the process.
“We know that there’s currently no indication that it’s easy to transmit by casual contact,” Barbot said on March 2. “We want New Yorkers to go about their daily lives, ride the subway, take the bus, go see your neighbors.” On the same day, Cuomo touted the city’s outlook toward the crisis.
“Excuse our arrogance as New Yorkers — I speak for the mayor also on this one — we think we have the best health care system on the planet right here in New York,” Cuomo said. “So, when you’re saying, what happened in other countries versus what happened here, we don’t even think it’s going to be as bad as it was in other countries.”

In the weeks before New York City implemented a virtual shutdown for the coronavirus, city officials urged constituents to go about their daily lives.www.nationalreview.com
What about what about
They were just keeping people calm, right?
Holloway made it clear as day he supports playing if/when we have rapid testing and some control in the Midwestern states where this continues to rage.
If that doesn't happen, we're ALL going to have much bigger problems than football.
Of course, I'm not in the room, but it's pretty clear that there is a group of 5-6 schools (including Rutgers) that are not in some sort of "not changing my vote" group - as some here keep saying.
If a majority of schools want to play - Rutgers will vote to play and will play --- as is often the case in any decisions by committee - most don't want to get in front nor be the one to hold things up.... they just want to have everyone (or nearly everyone) agree together...

I heard this morning that Duke tested every player every day this past week before the game today versus ND. Remind me again why the B1G can’t do that?
Wow, twice in one thread....but you're still a dumbass.
He's easily triggered and can't tolerate free speech.
basically it's not because I never said that LOL.
It doesnt say anywhere in that article that Trump said that LMAO. You somehow got dumber under your new screen name.
Playing in the spring? What planet is this guy on? Loser.
Rutgers president on Big Ten’s reboot, Trump’s ‘cheap politics’ and college sports in a pandemic
Rutgers president Jonathan Holloway is clear: He's comfortable with the Big Ten's decision to postpone college sports because of the coronavirus.www.nj.com
