But some medical advisors have a different opinion on the "spread" and long-term effects of the virus, etc. - that's what lead to these cancellations. NOT POLITICS.

I do not know about other B1G team players as I do not follow them. I can tell you OSU players and coaches want to play this fall. OSU admin voted to play.

ETA: Nebraska and Purdue want to play as well. B1G officials will not disclose who voted no, reports are 8 voted no.

I'm sure it's just a very vocal minority of players that tipped the scales forcing the commissioner to cancel the season. And I agree, OSU players along with Nebraska have been the voices of reason in the Big 10.

In 2020, it’s never been more clear that the extreme right and left are the same type of (highly emotional) people. Everything is either racist, a conspiracy, or unfair.

You are obviously 100% correct. No politics at all. But just to play devil's advocate, let's look at the states in the 3 conferences playing by how they went in 2016 election. And remember the election was basically 50/50.

Orange man bad states
New York
Massachusetts
Virginia

Orange man good states
Arkansas
Louisiana
Florida
Georgia
Tennessee
Alabama
Texas
Kentucky
South Carolina
Missouri
Mississippi
North Carolina
Pennsylvania
Oklahoma
Iowa
West Virginia
Kansas

I'm sure this is just a coincidence, and nothing political a couple months before an election.

That is a major problem. The Big 10 and Pac 12 are full of Democrat governors. If you had to follow the influence path it probably goes something like this: China/Soros>DNC>Democrat Governors>conference commissioners.

Good thing the SEC/ACC/Big 12 have mostly GOP governors. The influence chain of command is stopped with them.

I'm taking that as sarcasm.

On August 5th the Big 10 released their revised football schedule. Practice was allowed to begin on Aug 7th. Then, THREE DAYS after releasing the schedule the presidents/AD's etc all of a sudden had emergency meetings to discuss whether the season should be canceled. Unless you have been asleep since March, we have been dealing with the coronations overreaction for FIVE months (and counting). What "new" medical/scientific evidence could have possible come out...in THREE DAYS...that caused a complete 180? The answer is N-O-T-H-I-N-G. The powers that be saw that shite was getting real and knew they had to step in in a hurry to shut it down.

Given the fact that testing at all of the member schools had shown a very small % of the players were testing positive for the virus and that the doom and gloom "statistics" weren't really doomy or gloomy enough, they had to quickly find a new justification for such an abrupt reversal. That's when you immediately started seeing articles talking about the scary unknown long-term complications. So for 4 months no one thought about the possibility of long term complications until the schedule was release and practice was about to start? They even identified a big, scary, scientific word to scare you...mayocarditis. The problem is that, FACT, the risk of mayocarditis associated with viral infections has LONG (i.e. for decades) been known by medical professions. In fact, it is well known potential complication of another viral infection called influenza. Yet, that risk had NEVER warranted shutting down sports in the past.

“As time progressed and after hours of discussion with our Big Ten Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases and the Big Ten Sports Medicine Committee, it became abundantly clear that there was too much uncertainty regarding potential medical risks to allow our student-athletes to compete this fall," Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren said in a news release.

---

So before August 5th none of this "uncertainty" was discussed? Only three days after releasing the schedule did someone say "You known. There might be some uncertainty."? Give me a fricking break.

Action happens at deadlines. It's easy not to worry about something when you are 3 months out. But the "shut everything down forever" crowd saw it looking very likely the Big 10 was going to play football (the players and coaches haven't just been siting on their asses all summer) and they had to react quickly. This was decision in search of a justification. Not the other way around. So if you want to be naive and think "new" evidence just all of a sudden popped up this week, feel free. The rest of us will reside here in reality.
