Simply to put everything in perspective …
2020 will be the very first fiscal year without an Ohio State football game since 1889.
Buckeyes played through the flu pandemic of 1918 and two World Wars, however they wont play this fall.

Warrens concise Nebraska defense is a great window into the bottom line he used to help guide the choice that may ultimately specify his profession as Big Ten commissioner. He pleasantly informed Nebraska that if it goes rogue, it can load it where the corn does not husk. And the league would more than happy to keep its $50 million cut and share it with those who play nice.
IS IT WORTH IT, NEBRASKA? Nebraskas been quite damn insistent that it would try to play a fall football season beyond the Big Ten if the conference decided to delay fall sports.
Spoken with a Big 10 coach over night that Ive understood for 20 years that the conference being blamed for closing down the sport is currently affecting recruiting.
One top 2021 target told this coachs personnel that he would go to a school in a conference that “supports football”.
” No,” he said, securely. “Not and be a member of the Big Ten Conference.”
Prayers up for that fellow who received the complete extent of Urbans wrath the moment those electronic cameras stopped rolling.
Thats their call, but the Big Tens got about 50 million factors why they shouldnt do that.
So … Yeah. If youre questioning why Ryan Day appeared to believe that leaving the Big Ten was a much better concept than Gene Smith, this would probably be why!
LET THE NEGATIVE RECRUITING BEGIN. The Big Tens decision to delay the season is certainly going to harm Ohio State on the recruiting trail. How much remains to be seen, however groups are currently using it as an unfavorable recruiting pitch against Big Ten teams.
When Warren was asked particularly by Yahoo Sports if Nebraska might play college football this fall, he gave an answer that would make his hardline predecessor nod with approval.

NOT STICKING TO SPORTS. Quarantine has actually led to a substantial spike in sex doll sales … A great white shark soars 15 feet into the air in the highest tape-recorded sea breach … Uncovering our solar systems shape … Five Guinness World Record controversies … Breaking out of jail with a bar of soap … How to host a virtual party thats definitely lit …
Warrens succinct Nebraska counterclaim is a good window into the bottom line he used to assist the decision that might ultimately define his career as Big Ten commissioner. He pleasantly informed Nebraska that if it goes rogue, it can load it where the corn doesnt husk. And the league would be happy to keep its $50 million cut and share it with those who play great.
