Whichever side is best able to convince them that the other is responsible for losing football could sweep the Midwest. It was all fun and games until you took their college football away.

i don't see how Trump can be blamed

maybe if football was played in May, sure. but anything related to spread in August is fully due to state leadership

and, of course, leaders of highly partisan institutions started this. that partisanship is anti-Trump

how can Trump be blamed? or, to be more specific, how dumb do you have to be to blame Trump for no CFB?

This assumes the college presidents’ vote stands.

Even the knob-slobbers at ESPN are calling bullshite on spring football.

The Vox Rule: You will convince someone to change religions before you alter their opinions on:

1) Which college football team they cheer for, &

2) What constitutes great BBQ

Big ten states have curves that look very similar to western euro nations that have this virus "under control"

when september rolls around and michigan, ohio, etc have daily deaths close to 0, these presidents and ADs will have a tough time explaining why the season is cancelled.

Nah, take the #WalkAway & #BLEXIT movements for example.

Doesn’t even go into Nebraska insisting they are playing in spite of the Big Ten’s decision.

Because you're reasonable, but there are tens of millions who are not that believe the government can stop the spread of a highly contagious virus among 330,000,000 people who do not have it in their nature to observe shutdowns. They see South Korea where all contacts were practically locked in and credit cards paused as an example of how it should have been done.

They are dolts.

Can confirm. Raised Anglican, became agnostic/atheist, then converted to Orthodoxy.

I still love my Tide, white sauce on smoked chicken, and pepper/vinegar sauce on pulled pork (frick off with your chopped pork).

I think almost all of the Big Ten states go to Trump now. The NCAA has no idea what ramifications this will have.

Dems killed football. Good luck winning any middle America elections

Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin... even Pennsylvania and Minnesota.

As a New Orleans native I can tell you the first time I tasted South Carolina mustard based sauce I was in heaven. It is spectacular, but the Carolinas' bbq pork is just ok. Rarely smoky enough.

The only Big Ten states I see them keeping are Illinois, Maryland, and New Jersey.

And they can still frick those up too.

The plan is for a spike of cases across Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota when the cooler weather arrives. Early October.

It would be difficult to pull this off if there was a successful football season underway.

This is pure politics.
