Oso planning to go pro
According to the Detroit Free Press, a vote was taken over the weekend and only Nebraska and Iowa voted to play.Although I believe that there is still some intention to try to play in the spring.https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/2020/08/10/big-ten-football-cancels-season-michigan-michigan-state/3332277001/
This was tweeted 30 minutes ago.Pete Thamel@PeteThamelJust got a text from a Big Ten spokesman. "No vote has been held by our presidents and chancellors." Hence, the Big Ten watch continues.
We’ll see how that text holds up. Simply, he is not authorized to give information.
The Florida Genius - Ron Desantis - is telling SEC schools to poach players from the the schools that aren't playing this year. I need someone smarter than me to explain if that is allowable or not.As to the cancellation, my opinion is that the players demands on Saturday, led by Trevor Lawrence, are what triggered this. It was only a few days ago that the B10 released a modified schedule and said they were going to play.I think the modified financial outlook led to this - they are losing control - and gives leagues more time to figure things out.
Nebraska full steam ahead Big Ten or not.https://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/football/scott-frost-husker-players-make-clear-they-want-to-play-this-fall-join-us-for/article_d7c9aa12-e6b5-5684-85de-cf141e6253eb.html#tracking-source=home-top-story
Well now it's "official".https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/2020/08/11/big-ten-football-fall-season-canceled/3342902001/
The B10 is THE money conference. I expect other dominoes to fall in line.
I actually only expect the Pac 12 to follow immediately. I think it will be couple weeks before the other conferences follow.

This really needs to be emphasized. The threat to amateurism is almost as big a driving force in this as is Covid.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
