The Big 12 started sooner and had more built in open dates to allow for re-scheduling.

The B1G should have just said no to football, as should all the schools really.

But money is what drives the athletic programs and football supports the entire slate of sports.

That's what we're going to see, some coach or assistant coach who is older and not in great shape get really sick.

So they're not even sending their team on the road.

Must be some medical issues with the team and staff itself.

... game, "Do you think Justin Fields will win the Heisman?" (Her dumb husband probably brought it up.)

I replied that I'm not convinced the shortened season will even be completed.

One of the undefeated high school teams in my area had to forfeit their playoff game because of positive tests.
