But, but, but, I thought the B1G has been voting every day for the past week. Hell. yesterday some poster was giving live updates on the vote count. 
I see that Jeff and Dan are zeroed in and on the same page. They probably have 30 plus actual votes from the 14 University Presidents and their searching for a scapegoat to explain this fiasco.

Dan Patrick looks like the 65 year old virgin with all those toys and collectables.
What is the 'drop dead' date do you think for an Oct. 17 start?
I'd say drop dead date is Oct 2 for 10/17 start, so still plenty of time to discuss and watch other teams cancel games (and play games)
Franklin says he needs 4-6 weeks (which is total bullshit) though
I hate this f#&king conference.

So, say they vote on 10/2 to play; they'll have two weeks of full practices before the first game right? Until then, it's just he 12 hours a week? No idea why they can't practice normally....
Would you want to practice if you have no games on the schedule?
I mean maybe for a day or two, but after that players would begin to revolt.

I get your point, but is it up to the players? I'm not saying they should be doing two a days or anything, but if all the sudden the season starts in two weeks, how prepared will 12 hours a week get you? Does the 12 hours include team/positional meetings, working out, etc.?
Yeah I understand the point but right now there is no season.
Not maybe a season. They voted no season.
I think your larger point is the kill switch day is earlier than people think. 2 weeks of practice and a lot of players get hurt.
Need to decide in the next week imo

12 hrs supplanted the 20 hr rule when conferences cancelled so by this rule the 12 would be all athletic sponsored activities.
"According to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Bylaw 2.14, students competing in intercollegiate athletics in Division I or II are limited in the number of hours they can participate in athletically sponsored activities both in season and out of season. These limitations were established to help ensure that student-athletes are afforded quality time for academic pursuits similar to the general student body. Specifically, student-athletes are limited to no more than 20-hours of athletic-sponsored activities during in season and eight hours during out of season per week. The 20-hour rule, established by the NCAA in 1991, was established to maintain the amateur status of the student-athlete and to help keep colleges and universities from abusing the status of the student-athletes. By restricting the weekly hours in which student-athletes can practice and compete, the NCAA prioritized academic activities over athletic pursuits."
The comment by the Wisconsin Chancellor is why this will end up being a vote that will result in no football.
Michigan St just ordered a two quarantine of 30 residences. How inclined are they to vote yes on football when they are telling students to stay in their buildings?
Wisconsin has nearly 2,000 positive tests.
Do you think playing football should be the priority for the university presidents?
Maybe they are more focused on the tens of thousands of other students.

Apparently only Big 10 schools are having cases...all these other schools must be Covid free so they can play football.
This doesn't sound good folks. Leave it up to a bunch of so called intellectuals that have never run a business or probably never played a sport to f-ck things up beyond all repair. Looks like they are going to procrastinate until any meaningful season is pointless. Hope I'm wrong.

I thought about you the other day when I read an article about the following. It's not too early for you and Mrs. FG to start tree shoppingMeeting of the Big Ten presidents...for those of you who know your flowers.
Colorado to provide this year’s U.S. Capitol Christmas tree
The tree, likely an Engelmann spruce, will be placed on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol building in December.

Ah, I guess it is time to take down last year's tree. 😉I thought about you the other day when I read an article about the following. It's not too early for you and Mrs. FG to start tree shopping

The longer a delay continues, the more I believe you are right. If it's play in Spring or don't play at all, I'd rather not play at all - unless there is a way to tie bowl games in with the Pac 12. Otherwise, better to just get ready for 2021.
What the hell is going on? This shouldn't be that hard play or not... make up your mind. The whole world is playing sports at all levels: NFL, NBA, MLB, Premier League, PGA, NHL, SEC, ACC, Big12, HS, Cycling, etc. It should be that hard of a decision. Basically, they spread a bunch of misinformation about myocarditis as an excuse because they are a bunch of pussies. Still feels political at this point and what they are doing now is all for show.
I am pretty sure there hasn't been much out of the Big Ten since they made their decision not to play.
Everything you are complaining about are people other than the big ten opening their mouths.
Which is why I laugh at the people who blame this on politics.
