Absolutely nothing states “happy birthday, Kevin!” quite like all of a sudden canceling 25 percent of football season!
This draws, however in times like these, I like to take solace in poetry.

Offered that they have constantly selected the proper teams with absolutely no controversy or contention, I have nothing but faith that theyll do it again with a much smaller sized and differed sample!
BEST FOUR TEAMS. College footballs going to look a hell of a lot different this year if its played. But do not worry, well still have the College Football Playoff choice committee!
” Whatever the season appears like, the committee will select the very best four groups based upon the protocol,” he said.
Without embellishment, this is going to absolutely ruin entire athletic departments. But if you think this is monetary carnage, just wait up until the season is really canceled. Prayers up that never happens, because it wouldnt be pretty throughout the board.
Entirely MAC schools stand to lose more than $10.5 million from video games against Big Ten groups.
The MAC definitely cant say the very same.
But hey, if theyre just going to arbitrarily pick 4 groups and after that justify the choice how they please regardless, I guess it shouldnt really matter the number of video games are played anyway.
FREE MONEY. ” Marriage” and “Sports Gambling” are not 2 terms that overlap in harmony, so Im distinctly out of the game, however that doesnt imply there isnt money to be made by my wonderful readers.
The majority of this money was headed to schools in conferences outside the Power Five– schools that might be significantly impacted by the loss of revenue.
And folks, the OVER on Ohio States new 10-game win overall is definitely sweet.
Here are your revised Big Ten win overalls, from @SBD, based upon a 10-game sked.

Word of the Day: Sanguine.
Huge Ten football groups had been scheduled to play 33 non-conference video games at house. U.S.A. TODAY Sports has had the ability to acquire contracts for 26 of those video games– and they had actually been scheduled to have total payments to the visiting groups of nearly $22.2 million. That figure consists of payouts linked to single, one-off video games and video games that were to be parts of series.
I am thankful to hear that they will not change the protocol, which theyve explained does not in fact exist anyhow.
” Clearly there will be challenges this year, and we will see what those obstacles are and work through them,” College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock informed USA TODAY Sports.
VANISHING MILLIONS. Losing a quarter of the football season came as a firm start the dick to all football fans, however search the brilliant side– a minimum of for you, that news didnt included the immediate evaporation of countless dollars.
Even if provided just conference video games to consider– and even as the details of conference schedules, such as how many video games teams in the Big Ten will play, remain uncertain– the playoff choice committee will use the same protocol utilized throughout the postseason formats existence in determining its weekly and last rankings, Hancock stated.
” I know the impact that these assurance games have for these programs– and its remarkable,” said Big Sky Conference commissioner Tom Wistrcill, who worked as Akrons sports director from 2009 to 2015. “It certainly sends a shock through the system. And I definitely feel for those programs, specifically in the (Mid-American Conference) … that has a great deal of video games with those Big Ten schools and rely heavily on that earnings.”

Listen to the professionals. Dont panic. And prepare as though the seasons going to be played.

” The worst possible circumstance is they provide you the thumbs up, and your groups not prepared to go.” pic.twitter.com/h8OFgiTr2l
SAGE ADVICE. 2020 is proving that Urban Meyer chose one hell of a time to toss the sticks to Ryan Day, however just since hes not in the game anymore doesnt mean the coaching legend– and birthday kid!– does not have some sage knowledge to impart.
Take a look at it in this manner, to lose this bet, Ohio State would have to lose just one fewer Big Ten regular-season video game * this season * than they have in the past 8 years combined.
Wager the mortgage.

2020s been a shit show, but its likewise brought us completion of the Urban Meyer return to coaching speculation, and I am grateful for that.
NOT STICKING TO SPORTS. Did a Chinese hack kill Canadas biggest tech company? … How to utilize slack without driving your coworkers insane … The robots Microsoft assigned to do my job cant actually do it … Chinas international spying network … A Japanese theme park tells roller coaster riders to “please yell inside your heart” to stop the spread of COVID-19 … Quitting sex was the best thing I ever did …
