If things stay clean in the Covid football world, it's not a question of it, but when. AD's are looking at multiple options. There are things going on behind the scenes it sounds like.

A Buckeye parent told me the leaders of the Big Ten first thought everyone would follow their lead and are only holding firm to they decision just so they don't admit they were wrong.

If they do the plan where they start thanksgiving weekend I’d rather they just not play.

When they made the announcement with the Pac-10 they saw themselves as pioneers leading the way and the other big conferences would follow and the smaller ones would have no choice. Since the ACC, SEC and Big-12 did their own thing, now Kevin Warren looks like an ***. Special since his own kid is preparing for a season.

If they do the plan where they start thanksgiving weekend I’d rather they just not play. EXCEPT, they get no TV contract money that the ACC, SEC and Big 12 get. EXCEPT all underclassmen lose out on a year of practice time and development that players in the ACC, SEC and Big 12 get. EXCEPT they lose out on 2022 recruits who will be told by ACC, SEC and Big 12 recruiters, "Look how the Big 10 screwed their athletes, you don't want to go there." A FACT that can't be countered.

Taking into consideration the CDC's new data and the obvious fact we all knew that the virus isn't as serious and expected, why is there a hold up. You legitimately are now ruining these players dreams and mine of watching buckeyes on Saturday with a busch light in my hand!!!

Apparently President Trump had a rather long and productive conversation with Commissioner Warren. Have no idea what was said, but Warren had some positive comments concerning their conversation. I think this may be the turning point and the catalyst for a revised plan.
Talk is, an 8 game season, possibly beginning first or second week in October. Week 9 the Big Ten Championship, putting the B1G within the time frame and in the mix for the 4 team playoff. I'm cautiously optimistic, we will see a new formulation that will make a lot of ****** off people, smile again.

There is NOTHING different now than when the season was canceled. Take that back, the political winds are different after the University presidents made the decision and announcement as if this was a communist country.

Stay tuned, think there may be a surprise or two in the offing. Warren realizes he is in the shithouse with all the people he will be dealing with (coaches, players, athletic directors, while smoozing with academia administrators. Not a good start and perhaps the beginning of a short career as conference commissioner. I'm praying for the October start. If not, my mind gets conspiratorial and thinking this joker is an SEC plant.

The supposed comments from the University presidents, was; the just released report (just prior to the vote) that Covid 19 survivors may be subject to a heart ailment, was influential in their down vote. The report has since been debunked and proven to be false. Shades of the fake dossier being the basis for all the bullcrap this country has had to endure. I'm thinking, perhaps the next vote will look dramatically different, and add the feedback they must gotten, upon tbeir return to campus.

I hate to copy and paste, but this excerpt from Lettermen Row is of such prime importance:
NCAA doctor ‘highly confident’ football can be safely played The Big Ten voted nearly a month ago to cancel the fall college football season.
But other leagues delayed the start of their seasons instead of canceling. And now even the NCAA seems to be hinting that football is safe to play.
“I work very closely with the SEC, Big 12, ACC and all of the autonomy five conferences,” Dr. Brian Hainline, a doctor who works for the NCAA, said Friday. “The final recommendations were exactly aligned with the NCAA decisions. So I’m highly confident, from a decision making point of view, with regards to football.”
Ohio State and other schools in the Big Ten are still waiting on answers regarding why their season was canceled while other leagues prep to play. They aren’t getting those answers now. And while the Big Ten continues to trip over itself, the NCAA seems to be confident that football can be played this fall.

Heck I'm quite sure the Presidents wouldn't even trust Warren to write the statement when he made the announcement. Warren was just mouthing what was written for him.

Warren had already telegraphed his opinions well before any vote was conducted. Think he was instrumental in orchestrating and facilitating the direction of the voting. I doubt the results would have been the same under Delaney. As far as the U. presidents, I totally agree. Are the presidents going to accept any of the blame, for their role in inflicting long term devestation and in many aspects, permanent damage to every Big Ten football program? Even if they agree to an early Octobr start, the wounds are deep and significant.

"Telegraphing" by Warren DOES NOT matter. Besides, his "telegraphs" had to have come from the University Presidents. Warren saying anything other than what the University Presidents wanted would be like the new Ohio State QB coach telling the press how HE was going to coach Justin Fields, the opposite of what Ryan Day would do.
Delaney would have been fired in an instant if he said anything contrary to what HIS BOSSES, the University Presidents, wanted said. OR he would have resigned before he was fired. AGAIN Warren is noting more than a water boy for the University Presidents.
You do understand how an organization chart works right?

AGAIN Warren is noting more than a water boy for the University Presidents. You do understand how an organization chart works right? Probably the case to a great extent. I'm sure, during the interview process, acquiring a compliant commissioner was up on the list of priorities, alongside attaining an individual that was ethnically diverse. Is he a total lap dog?, can't say at this point. I see this as a power struggle between those that have conference athletic best interests at heart vs. the elite academia snobs, that have their own self interest at heart and could care less if it is at the expense of those trying to maintain Big Ten athletics at a high level, while keeping things running as smoothly and as close to normal as can be expected. One could easily see this as a beat down of athletic interests, asserting authority and establishing their power. as the status quo.
