The #B1G has denied #Nebraska’s attempt to replace its canceled game against #Wisconsin with FCS Chattanooga, sources tell @ClowESPN and me. Chattanooga had already tested staff and players Wednesday and came back negative. But the game will not happen.

Nebraska wanted to play, Chattanooga wanted to play, the Big Ten nixed it. Well, pretty sure I know how this’ll play in Lincoln and most of the rest of the country.

Not surprised by this at all. They said they weren't allowing non-conference games and they aren't. Even though they stuck to their guns, they still come out of this looking stupid once again.

So Wisconsin shuts things down even when the Big Ten rules would have allowed them to still play, then the Big Ten doesn’t force Wisconsin to have to forfeit, and then they frick over Nebraska.

frick this conference.

Édit: think I misinterpreted your post.

This rule, to me, makes no sense. It punishes teams that are healthy. If Ohio State is 6-0 and staring at a CFP appearance would the conference allow a game against them to be cancelled?

If Texas would stop it's independence than the Big 12 could get back together
Boot West Va
Bring back Colorado and Nebraska
Take Mizzou back and SEC could add a West Va or someone else

I don’t really get why they can’t play the game.

Why aren’t they playing the game?

These are the people of science.

Where the frick are they going to go? They’re a has been. An older chick who used to be hot in its prime but now needs to be married to the possessive arrogant rich guy who treats it like crap. Her options are pretty slim.

That’s rich, considering you are the one team in America that is shut down at the moment



They were on the verge of having the B1G shut them down. They already met the population positivity rate and almost met the test positivity rate threshold needed to have the conference shut them down. They had two options:

1) Shut down themselves and get it under control

2) Be at the whim of the B1G if they meet both thresholds, which is a minimum 7 day shut down and basically they get to prove to Kevin Warren why you should be allowed to continue to play.

They took the lesser of two evils and chose #1. Personally they should have rode it out and hoped for neither of the 2.

FYI, I'll say again, the B1G's guidelines are stupid to begin with, but these are the stupid rules they need to follow to be able to play.

I misread your first post. The B1G rules are ridiculous, they basically set up the schools to fail by not putting in any bye weeks. You can do all the testing in the world, but there will be outbreaks. Why the B1G won’t allow teams to schedule other games makes zero sense

They also weren't pussies and chose a side in the Civil War. Missouri remained neutral while West Virginia actively broke away from the mother state they were part of before the war. Missouri was full of beta cucks in 1860 and are full of beta cucks in 2020.

The Big 10 can't fire Karen Warren fast enough. They need to launch that diversity hire into the sun.
