Oso planning to go pro
Because the BIG 10 started late, there are no bye weeks or room in the schedule to move games around, so I think the UW game is straight cancelled and not postponed.
B1G said no to Nebraska to play UTC on Saturday.https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/30216947/sources-big-ten-nixes-nebraska-cornhuskers-replacement-game-vs-chattanooga-mocs
I have no sympathy for Nebraska. They chased the Big Ten dollars. The reality of college football is the majority of top notch recruits play and live in the south. There are very good kids and top ranked kids in the rust belt every year but this isn’t 1975 anymore. Kids ain’t leaving Texas to play for Nebraska anymore.
Given that the B10 rule is that you have to sit for 21 days after testing positive, doesn't that mean the rodents' next three games are likely to be canceled? Or did they have a whole bunch of positives from earlier that didn't play against Illinois?
@MikeGarafolo: #Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence has tested positive for COVID-19, sources tell me and @RapSheet. The No. 1-ranked Tigers are slated to face #BostonCollege Saturday.
in the same way that Nick Saban had multiple negative tests before Alabama's game, he will be magically cured shortly.
It probably depends on whether ACC rules are the same as they are in the SEC…but it would not surprise me.
Dabo Swinney came out and said Lawrence is out this week and the QB gave the school the ok to announce his diagnosis. Says he has mild symptoms, so this one looks legit
Rumors swirling in Champaign that the Illini football team had a few positive tests yesterday after being clean all week.
I have a couple of Nebraska fans who were jazzed when they joined the Big Ten. But now they think it's just a bad cultural fit, and if money weren't an issue, they should go back to the B12.I also have a couple friends from Texas who think that the B12 is a bad fit for the University of Texas, and that many of the better high school players in Texas don't hold allegiance to UT and would rather play in the B10 or SEC. The grass isn't always greener.
I will not be shocked if Texas is in the Big Ten someday
I would be. It's been allowed to make the Big 12 its personal fiefdom, with their own TV network and everything. And that's allowed them to bring in more revenue than any other NCAA athletic department, despite middling on-field results.Can't see why they'd give that up to become just another school in the Big 10.On the other hand, Nebraska returning to the Big 12 seems inevitable. Maybe they can pull a Nebraska-for-West Virginia swap.
Nebraska would be a great fit if they didn't suck. If they were winning B1G championships or even being competitive, their fans would be singing a different tune. A lot of their fan base is delusional and thinks the days of Tom Osborne are returning. They've been largely irrelevant for over 20 years.
