Report: The Big Ten is re-voting tomorrow

Mountains are moving in the Big Ten this week. On Tuesday, President Trump and Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren had what both sides characterized as a productive phone call about return to play. The phone call was brokered by Outkick founder Clay Travis. On Wednesday, a court ordered the conference to produce more documents and information about their decision to postpone Fall sports.
Now, several websites that cover Big Ten programs are reporting that the conference’s chancellors and presidents are slated to have a re-vote this week to potentially reverse the decision and play football this Fall:
1) Dave Biddle of Bucknuts, the 247 site for Ohio State (subscription required and recommended), first reported that the Big Ten’s presidents and chancellors have “tentatively” agreed to revote on either Friday or Saturday.
2) Kevin Noon of Buckeye Grove, the Rivals site for Ohio State (subscription required and recommended), confirmed the Bucknuts report, adding: “There is no guarantee as to how this vote will go but it is thought that a vote to resume the season would mean a mid-October start, potentially October 10th.”
3) Sean Callahan of HuskerOnline, the Rivals site for Nebraska (subscription required and recommended), added the following: “A behind the scenes vote count is being taken, and if there is enough support to bring it to a vote, it will happen. If they know they won’t get the 9 votes from the Presidents/Chancellors on Friday there won’t be a revote. So if a vote does happen this week, it means they already know they have the support to overturn this. Stay tuned. If that happens, camp could open as soon as Saturday. It sounds like there are a few teams that just don’t want to play. So you could have three or four teams sit it out and not play if the vote gets overturned.”
Look, this is all convoluted. And yes, obviously these three reporters are immersed in two of the three programs (Iowa being the third) who want football season the most in the conference. They would need to flip six presidents or chancellors from Wisconsin, Penn State, Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, Maryland, Rutgers, and Illinois.
My two cents is this: The Big Ten should have a season with the teams that want to play, and allow the teams that do not want to play to opt out. This is similar to the idea that players who are risk averse or just feel that it is in their best personal interests to opt out should be able to do so without judgment.
It remains to be seen how much more support Ohio State, Nebraska, and Iowa can get from other institutions in the Big Ten, but they’re certainly giving this their best effort possible.

I can't imagine the Big Ten academia giving Trump a win like this, but I also can't imagine calling this vote just to have the same results. This whole thing is just unimaginable

I'm going to laugh when they vote to "postpone" once again.

Ohio State practiced yesterday in full pads for what it's worth.

Wisconsin - doubtful
Penn St - maybe
Purdue - likely
Indiana - likely
Northwestern - no chance
Minnesota - no chance
Michigan - no chance
Michigan St - no chance
Maryland - doubtful
Rutgers - no
Illinois - no chance
I don’t see six of these presidents flipping

Didn't you hear...the virus is gone and the heart condition has vanished.
It has nothing to do with the other conferences playing, players wanting to transfer, getting sued, losing tons of money....
The big 10 will look bad either way now. They messed up

I don't know why they are re-voting if the results are expected to be the same. I'm sure they're still going to vote to postpone/cancel, but it feels as if they're just wasting everyone's time by doing this.

Doubt it. Revoting means they are going

I haven't been keeping up in fine detail, but if the first vote wasn't done properly procedurally, then a properly conducted vote, even if the same result, would be required.
Just spit balling.

IDK. The only thing I could think of is that they didn't actually have a formal vote initially and the lawsuit by the Big 10 players is bringing that to light.

They wouldn't be doing a revote this quickly if they didn't have the votes to flip

What would be more interesting is if the vote is 8-6 or something to play but those 6 schools still dont play
If it involves PA, MI, MN and WI schools those governors have fricked themselves come November

BREAKING: #PennState's director of athletic medicine, Wayne Sebastianelli, says that cardiac MRI scans revealed that roughly 30-35 percent of Big Ten athletes who tested positive for COVID-19 appeared to have myocarditis.

This doesn't seem to be political at all....

It will be amazing to see the snarky anti-Trump comment they force into their official statement in order to try and minimize the positive impact this has for the President. Liberals are scum IMO and they will definitely throw shade in some manner.

Several people in the earlier meeting have stated that there was no proper vote. No one refuted this (except keyboard warriors who have read nothing but headlines on the story)
And it is now known that the by-laws require a vote.

BTW Clay Travis is a fricking hero and everybody who’s mocked him needs to publicly recognize what he’s accomplished if this really happens.
