WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Clay Travis isn't the source and he isn't the one who broke the story. He's just one of many talking about it who happened to give some background on who and where the story broke - which is why I included it. It gives a relatively full picture of the situation and of course, never comes close to claiming that this 6 team schedule is going to happen.

But again, you wouldn't know that because you didn't watch the clip nor did you research any of the many other articles, blogs, vlogs or clips etc. discussing it. Yet you blather on like you are THE AUTHORITY when it comes to what is in the clip and indeed the entire situation. I don't understand how you can be so proud of not knowing what you are talking about, but I think we are getting used to it.

Not worth your time? No problem, just move along. I can't imagine how anyone would mind if you didn't post in this thread if you don't know nor even want to know anything about the topic.

And here I naively thought everyone had an "anti-Covid agenda" but I should have guessed you'd be the one exception with a "pro-Covid agenda".

Yes. When I found out it was fake I admitted I had made a mistake, apologized and corrected it. Are you trying to make a point (other than showing how the libs here are so desperate that they are still gloating about it) or do you lack one (similar to your comrade in this exchange)?

You didn't apologize so much as insult the people that called you out for falling for such an obvious fake.

So far we have a big lead.

I know you're joking but do you guys seriously think that liberals for some reason don't want college football? That BearcatMark, Cataclysmo and other spend got knows how many hours here or on other bearcats sites but are secretly working on some elaborate plot to try to have it not happen? That the Presidents of the Big 10 schools are deliberately putting themselves in hot water and cancelling football for no apparent reason? That Gov. DeWine, despite being a republican, is somehow in on it all as an attempt to destroy Trump? Or that it is some massive liberal conspiracy to destroy the US, the only country that most of us have ever known and have the option of living in?

Or is it more likely that the response to the virus was mangled from the start? That if we had implemented a national mandatory mask mandate in march that we'd be largely through this? That no one in the country wants to get rid of college football but is just trying to do the best they can to make the decisions that they think are best?

that wouldn’t work because they’d have to understand the president’s covid response was a total f up from day one.

but that’s for the political board. only right wingers are allowed political jabs in the sports section.

I think what it all boils down to is that there are those that believe everything they hear about covid and there are those that don't believe everything they're told about covid.

Those that believe everything they hear are OK with the government shutting everything, including the 2020 college football season.

Those who don't believe everything they hear are saying hold on, all of this government intervention is not necessary and the season should go on.

Those that are OK with the shut down blame Trump for everything that's wrong and believe everything that the Faucis and Actons of the world say as the gospel.

Those that are opposed blame the medical authorities for their incompetence and feel that each American should be able to make heir own decisions.

The last two posters highlighted prove my point. So yeah, I do believe that you guys are OK with this if it will get Trump out.

I understand the complaints about too much politics on the main board but with Covid such a part of our daily lives its hard to separate.

I don't think we mods have any sort of double standard for liberal and conservative posters.

This pandemic is such a pain in the ass on so many levels. When you mix politics with science, all you end up with is politics.

Not Ohio State but Nebraska players file suit against the B1G:

Quote:Eight Nebraska football players have filed a lawsuit against the Big Ten. By doing so, the players hope to force the conference to reverse its previous decision to postpone its football season until 2021.

The 13-page suit was obtained by the Omaha World-Herald. Represented in the complaint, filed in the District Court of Lancaster County, are linebackers Garrett Snodgrass, Garrett Nelson and Jackson Hannah; offensive linemen Ethan Piper and Brant Banks; safety Noa Pola-Gates; wide receiver Alante Brown; and long snapper Brig Banks.

The suit claims the Big Ten's "arbitrary and capricious" decision should be overturned because it didn't follow established guidelines and was "unjustified" based on flawed medical information. The players' attorney, Mike Flood, said the lawsuit "isn't about money or damages, it's about real-life relief." Moreover, Flood argued that athletes followed the safety guidelines set forth by the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

In all, the suit raises three counts against the conference:

Wrongful interference with business expectations -- that the season represents an opportunity for players to work towards a career in football and develop brands for name/image/likeness use later.

Breach of contract by not holding an actual vote within its Council of Presidents and Chancellors.

Declaratory judgment by either not actually voting on the decision or being unable to produce evidence of a vote.

Shortly after the suit was filed on Thursday, the Big Ten released its own statement on the matter, noting that the conference's council of presidents "overwhelmingly voted to postpone the fall sports season based on medical concerns and in the best interest of the health and safety of our student-athletes.

"We share the disappointment that some student-athletes and their families are feeling. However, this lawsuit has no merit and we will defend the decision to protect all student-athletes as we navigate through this global pandemic. We are actively considering options to get back to competition and look forward to doing so when it is safe to play."

Will It Matter?

That's not entirely true. It provides opportunities for lackluster scientists who want to switch careers and enter the media profession.

I wholeheartedly believe that a large contingent of our media, and a small contingent of our politicians are pumping death virus news down our throat and making decisions that have political motivation in order to make Trump look bad heading into November. Did you watch the DNC last week? 90% of their focus was on COVID and Trump's handling of it. If you watched that you would think that this thing is killing 30% of our population. This issue is clearly a large part of the Democratic platform, and many of them want it to remain a hot topic until the election.

My question for you, do you really believe that there's no motivation for Democrats to keep this as a serious issue between now and November? If our cases plummet between now and November wouldn't that help Trump? Can you see how Republicans are connecting the dots and a little skeptical of some of the "news" and guidance we receive? Can you see how many people are questioning if the reaction is worse than the virus?

Do I think DeWine and the college presidents are part of a conspiracy to take Trump down? Nope, I just think they're drinking the kool aid that makes them believe this thing is more dangerous than it really is. And really, that may not be a bad thing. The virus is dangerous, it's worth taking precautions, I just think it's funny that we don't change our behavior at all during flu season when we know it will kill 20,000 - 80,000 Americans, but we freak the eff out for COVID which has killed about 3x that many during a comparable period. Still waiting to hear from the liberals on what the magic number of deaths is before we start changing our actions, because it must be over 80,000, which is how many the flu killed in 2018.
