Why do you spell league like this?

I still stand by he's only doing what everyone else told him to do.
He may very well be in favor of it, too, but if the 14 chancellors, or at least a majority of them, suggested to him to have a season, we'd have a B1G season.
You say Ohio State wants to play is you mean the athletic department wants to play.
The chancellor is willing to take it down to avoid litigation and to appear on the "We care" side.

You're right. He's definitely doing what he's being told to do. And yes when I say OSU wants to play I'm referring to athletic dept, coaches, and players. As I've previously stated, the Academics in Administration at OSU and other BIG TEN schools hate that their universities are known more for football than academics and they are trying to show where there focus is. This will be the end of the Big Ten as we know it.

Maybe I am ignorant, but can a waiver be used to where those that choose to play cannot sue? That way, a player or staff member can choose to not sign it,, sit out and save a year on eligibility, etc.

From what I’ve gathered, there was not uniformity among the league about how to prepare for the season. Nebraska/Iowa/OSU/ and it sounds like probably Michigan all implemented very strict programs 2 months ago to make sure it was safe to play, and other schools were way more lackadaisical. That’s why Iowa and Ohio State players/parents/admins have become more critical of the B10 the past few days.

The B10 had 5 months to come up with protocols, plans, and contingencies, and they apparently came up with nothing other than “Maybe we’ll try spring football. But probably not”. Total failure by the B10 leadership.
