I have a proposition.
…
GO LIGHT IN PRACTICE. It would appear that the Big Ten has made up its mind, and the season is already calmly canceled at this point. Rather of in fact doing what he thinks should be done, it seems like Kevin Warren is simply going to extend the inescapable a bit, for some reason.
Ah yes, “go light in practice” is going to discuss very well to all the gamers throughout the country desperately pleading that they want to play the season youre about to cancel. Good look.
SOMEHOW, NOBODY IS PREPARED. I– the mediocre sports blogger– have actually been bullshitting online for months about what would happen if there isnt college football this fall, which apparently makes me more prepared for this circumstance than Power Five athletic directors.
Exact same, Reid. Exact same.
If football is canceled, I believe that Ohio State and Clemson ought to just play one huge pay-per-view exhibition video game and divided the cash like a huge boxing match.
Ive ever the optimist, however you can only be so optimistic when your team is down 3 scores with 4 minutes left on the clock.
Source: Big Ten Presidents stay on the cusp of cancelling the season, however the league isnt prepared to announce. The choice is close, but tentative. Big Ten programs have actually been instructed by Commissioner Kevin Warren to essentially go light in practice tomorrow.
A MODEST PROPOSAL. Its now rather clear that we are not going to have any sort of regular football season this fall, however its likewise become incredibly clear that no one wishes to play the season more than the Ohio State and Clemson players.
Im going to be directly up, I would pay $100+ as a single individual to see this on my television, and I am incredibly positive I am not alone because.

Word of the Day: Vehement.
” Its gotten to an important phase,” one conference commissioner informed Sports Illustrated Sunday, after a conference call in between the heads of the Power 5 conferences. “I believe everybody will be satisfying with our boards in the coming days. We have work to do that is no fun.”
“I think all of us will be meeting with our boards in the coming days. It would seem that the Big Ten has made up its mind, and the season is already quietly canceled at this point. Instead of really doing what he thinks must be done, it seems like Kevin Warren is just going to lengthen the unavoidable a bit, for some reason.
NAIL, MEET HEAD. A lot of players were sharing their ideas on the season likely being canceled versus their wishes, however future Buckeye linebacker Reid Carrico put it in terms anyone can comprehend.
NOT STICKING TO SPORTS. A naked male goes after a swine through a public park after swine takes his laptop … Masked bank robbers benefit from COVID-19 face-covering guidelines … A Canadian brewery is sorry for inadvertently naming a beer pubic hair in Maori … The University of Georgia advises students to use masks during sex … A cold case murder at a California nursing house is fixed through DNA 24 years later on …

Dominoes began falling in earnest Saturday when the Mid-American Conference held off fall sports. The Big Ten followed with a statement that it was pausing its arranged progression to full-pads football practices. A well-placed source told SI Saturday, “I believe by the end of the week the fall sports will be held off in all conferences.”
Ive seen a great deal of folks recommending that Ohio State leave the Big Ten or sign up with another conference if the Big Ten chooses to cancel sports. Thats great and excellent, however that assumes that someone is going to be playing football this fall, and that does not appear to be at all most likely at this point.
I get it, there are a billion things that youre going to have to deal with if you hold off the season, but this isnt precisely a situation that just suddenly came across these athletic directors.
PUT A FORK IN IT. It seems, based upon many, lots of reports, that the 2020 football season is effectively dead at this point.
” No one has spoken about a strategy if the season is canceled,” West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons, who is the chair of the Football Oversight Committee, informed ESPN. “If its canceled, we need to be able to give clear instructions at that time, instead of saying, We dont know.”.
To have not even discussed a plan is … woof.

” In the next 72 hours college football is going to concern a total stop,” one industry source said.
Due to the fact that its too cold outside, this feels like grade school when you cant have recess.
Top-level conference meetings are being prepared for today across the college football landscape with the anticipated resolution of postponing fall sports till 2021, multiple sources have informed Sports Illustrated.
