I am so bearish on the Big 12 doing something courageous and smart and deciding to at minimum delay a decision. This shit ass conference will choose the worst possible outcome possible. 

[crash_davis 23107]

Simple. Texas says you motherfuckers play or we are leaving the shitty ass conference as soon as possible. Fuck Kansas. Fuck those 2 televisions worth podunk schools.

Dont question the narrative. We will all die either from covid or complications from covid. Prepare accordingly and write your will.

I think it's clear that Mr. NuNu is going to shoot his son if the season is canceled. He'd rather not shoot his son but it's a binary choice between the Vid and the Bullet and a choice must be made.

Somehow Bowlsby is going to fuck this up.

It’ll be Berlin Wall falling down level of fuck up.

idk what it will look like... but he’ll do something like cancel the season after miscounting the Votes which then causes all the other leagues to cancel and we’ll later find out it was like a 8-2 vote in favor of the season

Well, we like money and the Big 12 will retain our TV rights, minus the LHN, till 2024. So if we want to only go off 15 million a year from TV then okay. 

[Tailgate 3021]

I think Big XII will play.

I’m an optimist....but I seriously believe it. Let’s go.

So you mean Covid is acting like every other virus before it. Got it. Thanks for the breaking news.

That brain dead, feckless, empty suit is in charge of saving college football? Nothing good will come out of this. 

[gmr548 16576]

Arizona State and Rutgers exist in those conferences. 

Tell me what you think the word "mostly" means.

Also, Rutgers would far and away be considered the second best school in the B12 and ASU would have a case for #2, no lower than #4. That's kinda the point. Just completely different cultures between those conferences.

Not a surprise - GRHorn comes to complain about David Dennison.  Wulaw drags this thread the other way with his pointless off topic ranting.  And some racist little baby can't stop showing his true colors with "Wuhan Xi" virus. 

All y'all should be in timeout. 

You hush up and go to your room, no supper for you tonight young man.

Sure, but I don't see what the rush is. Announce another delay to the start or fall camps and games and say "we'll re-visit things on September 15." See what happens when students are back on campuses. Unless, of course, they have no intention of playing regardless.

this. Re evaluating things for an oct 1 start makes a lot of sense to me 

[JFKFC 4878]

If we still play, and lose to Okie Lite in Stillwater, who is going to pay for my neighbor's gazebo after I accidentally burn it down in anger. You guys aren't thinking about the big picture.

So OU against fall football.

I said this two days ago. It's been obvious all along that Lincoln Riley doesn't want to play. He must not be so confident in Spencer Rattler. All the more reason to strap it up.

[Longhorn94 2448]

I just dont see how anyone can expect college football to carry on in the middle of fucking worldwide pandemic. its insane. i want my Horns to play more than anyone and i miss football BAD. but its just a game and is not worth risking the health of any player. We have to be adults and put their interests above our own. 2020 sucks.

I don't care much either way. I'm not that interested in this point but I know there are rea$on$ to play from the schools' point of view. But the dying on the hill that we have to have what would be a clusterfuck of a season is really weird. Kind of sad honestly.

Texas would be making the same demands regardless of what conference we're in. We carry a shitton of television sets. Texas makes any conference TV contract that much more lucrative.

So we should tell these young men what to do with their bodies?

Last I checked, they know the risks, they want to play.

What a terrible fucking analogy. We wouldn’t let them practice or play if they tested positive for Covid. That shouldn’t be up to them. But playing and assuming risk should be up to them.

Then we should allow them to negotiate for their services.

I dont have all the answers. I know I want football. But I also know that we should not being playing football during a pandemic. It sucks and I hate it.

Are there things that we could do to mitigate risks? Of course. To limit liability? of course. But SHOULD we be doing those things for a game? It just doesnt make sense. I know I would not risk my child's long term health over this. And yeah I have a senior at LT this fall and it fucking sucks the decisions we are having to make to keep them safe.
