Are they having fans in the stands?

Nine years is a long, LONG time to have a chapped ass about Nebraska leaving the conference.  Then again, there's no healing on the horizon for Arkansas bailing from the SWC, is there?  That was 28 years ago.

Non-sequitir strawman trial balloon on pig.  Please cite and quote our bitching about pig.  Another false narrative created in your own mind to deal with the cognitive dissonance of your 16 years spent on your knees in front of us.  We didn't start the current round of bitching until you declared our conference to be your soft landing from your current predicament, as if you retained the agency to simply up and move back in, when the idea of same is revolting to us, and the rest of the conference, with maybe the exception of 0u.

Just be happy that we only hate you.  We'll forget you again shortly, just like the rest of the country has during your descent to irrelevance, and revert to our standard programming of hate for 0u, and fear and loathing for aggy.

You didn't answer my question. You gave me your theory. It could be correct. That isn't the point. How do you know for a fact the Big 10 is making its decision based on a reason other than player safety?

You’re being obtuse. Of course the Big 10 is not going to release an audited list of their actual motives or agenda. One has to pay attention and be able to form logical conclusions from the information we have. They canceled the season because of the “newly discovered” heart inflammation issue that has been known about by everyone in the medical community for years. Now they claim it’s safe again because they have access to rapid testing. Really? What about that heart inflammation issue? That just suddenly went away right as other conferences found a way to play football? 

Their decision was so clearly not based on player safety initially it was laughable. Now they are wavering when literally nothing has changed just demonstrates their ridiculous posturing. Seeing which schools are in favor of playing vs not is just another data point about how this is falling along political, ideological lines. If they play again in October, it is not the result of a resolution of the medical concerns they outlined initially. It’s because of the huge financial consequence and political backlash within their own conference.

I thought it was shown that study might not be entirely accurate? And I thought the rapid testing was a relatively new development? And now we have had several weeks they can observe what is going on across the country with people playing.

But it is laughable that it was based on concerns about Covid but instead it is logical to realize it is actually about...um...ideology? That whole 'don't play football' ideology. I am not a political scientist but I am not familiar with that one. Some kind of vague posturing that is about...something or other. And if we do not accept this vague general political claim we are being obtuse?

And of course there are huge political and financial backlash to not playing college football and I am supposed to believe they were not aware of what those might be when they initially decided to cancel? I think they were aware they were all going to take a big financial hit and it was going to be unpopular (not to mentiond damaging to recruiting and all that). They might have been overly careful and perhaps went too far but I fail to see the logical conclusion that therefore player safety was not a concern but instead they all decided to make huge sacrifices because of some vague unspecific political agenda to do something or other.

We welcome them to bowl games where applicable but for this year, they are not playoff eligible. Less wear and tear on their players with the delayed start, upsetting college football plans and revenue flow on a nationwide basis. It was a poor decision when made which looks even more ridiculous now.

Sounds good. They will have plenty of games played by then to see how dangerous it is.
