The fact that the Big 10 knuckled under is huge politically

This is the first time in my life that I’ve seen the nationwide “conservative” standpoint win a culture battle and essentially force liberals to admit that they’re full of shite and reverse a politically charged, pointless decision.
Leftists cry and kick and scream until things get cancelled that they don’t like, or more realistically, hurt them politically, and today they had to show weakness in a cultural arena that they’ve absolutely dominated for the past 50 or so years.
I don’t think the Big 10’s decision to play is being talked about enough from a political perspective. Their liberal conference leaders tried to big dick the other conferences by rushing to announce the cancellation of their seasons first and strongarm everyone to follow suit in a blatant political move, and they got to walk away with their tail between their legs today. Love to see it

Never thought of it from this point of view. Might be on to something here

I’m thinking it’s more about universities realizing how much money they will lose if they don’t play.

Great thread mate

The Big 10 was just following everyone else who had cancelled already, expecting the remainder of conferences to follow them. That’s how college basketball got cancelled. No one wanted to be last to cancel. The SEC standing firm is what flattened the curve of cancellations for football. Big 12 and ACC would have followed either way, IMO.

Never forget. The whole reason Big 10 football was canceled was to hurt Trump in the Rust Belt. The media was so happy. I love seeing them get their noses stuck in it today.

NFL has a larger liberal audience compared to college.
P5 college football fans are mostly white middle America types supporting the state college they attended or the one that represents the state they live in. The money lies in this fanbase. That’s why we lost the NFL cultural battle but are winning the battle with college football

Money talks. The numbers difference between fall and spring football were just too big to ignore.

I'm glad they are playing. Now I can boycott them.

This is the first time you’ve seen money win?

Remember when you were younger and faked an illness to stay home from school? It was all well and good till 3:30 rolled around and you could hear all the other kids outside playing football and riding bikes, but mom wouldn’t let you outside.
I remember.

Crap!!! So their season is back on? This sucks.

I've been saying since this started that if Trump and the overall conservative movement could put enough pressure on these conferences to opt back into the season, then it would send a big message, politically. I wasn't sure it would happen, but here we are.
Naturally, we know how the media will play it off. Ignore them. The only thing that matters is what the people think. And no one is going to convince me this won't have a huge impact on every day people who saw a senseless decision made by liberal leaders, to cancel the season, and have now seen those same "leaders" get some sense knocked into them by the right.
Sports have always been one of the things that unite people amidst their differences, and we've seen the left try everything they can to ruin that arena. But, when they tried to take sports away, altogether this year, that made a lot of people angry. More than the media will ever let anyone know. And so getting football back for people who have been miserable for the past 7 months is not going to be lost on them. They know who's behind this.
I keep saying it, and few people have been willing to take me seriously, for whatever reason, but rank and file democrats are leaving that party in droves. The riots and the white guiltists are just paid pawns. When the people who have been paying for these stunts are behind bars, it's over for the left. And I continue to believe that time is near.

I was telling people 2 weeks ago that college football, and especially the B1G were gonna get Biden beat, and people thought I was crazy.
