In the middle of a pandemic, in a year where no school played a real season anyway, in a conference where your president basically already said no we won't play at all? Yeah that doesn't sound all that crazy. You make it seem like he woke up and decided to just cancel Gopher football for no reason.
He's the only P5 coach I am aware of that advocated not playing at all. That's not a good look.

WTF are you even talking about?
Fleck Press Conference on COVID
quote:
I’ll give you an instance, I’m meeting with, as we speak — and that’s why my press conference is pushed back a little bit — i’m meeting with every single kid on our football team individually. And I’m about a third of the way through our football team. And it’s interesting because I’ve asked every single one of our players four questions. I do this periodically and the last question was, ‘What do you think about the Big Ten’s decision?’
“I think that’s a very healthy question to ask student athletes because there’s a lot of people out there saying what everyone is thinking or should be thinking and there’s one narrative or one opinion. Every single person that I’ve talked to — 30 for 30, like the ESPN show — right now, 30 for 30, every player has said the Big Ten made the right decision.
“Were they disappointed that they didn’t play? Sure. Everybody wants to play. We want to coach, they want to play. That’s why we’re all here. Everybody’s competitors. But at the end of the day, when you listen to the student-athletes that I talked to from our football team, the information that they relayed back to me about how they know it was a very hard choice, but inevitably at the end of the day, the right choice for them to keep them safe and healthy with too much uncertainty as Kevin Warren said.
“And so again, as we continue to move forward. We’re going to take the next right step, the next safest step possible. And I think that’s fair for how we even can control the narrative moving forward of what these last five to six months and everything has meant to college football, as we evaluate everything.”
Yeah checking with your players, conference, and doctors for the safety of your team and fans sounds like a huge pussy move.
