Nebraska B1G Could be playing football starting in October - Page 2

Dan Patrick Show
@dpshow
“From source: If conference can pass updated safety measures and procedures, Big Ten targeting Oct. 10 to start football season.” - Dan Patrick

This came after the president met with B1G commish Kevin Warren. Warren's son plays for Mississippi St and they will be playing in September.

Also:

TV partners have already green-lighted any decision that B1G presidents and Kevin Warren decide on, but bigger networks Fox Sports and ESPN/ABC are also pushing for October start, per source.

Big Ten will only get partial TV revenue if they delay until Thanksgiving or later.

For sure. But before we get too carried away, there's a reason he's likely doing it. In the end, football is football so it doesn't matter.

The commissioner essentially made a unilateral decision. Several AD's objected but were ignored.

Then several groups of parents from Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio State, and Penn State started writing letters and the commissioner decided maybe he made a mistake.

I know the Nebraska players were considering litigation, too not sure if they filed it but they threatened it.

The commissioner should have known better.

BooClones are not the sharpest tool in the B12 shed.....

To be fair, 25K is a normal crowd at Jack Trice. So they're not really chaining anything. :-)

Regardless thats getting shit done.

Also Clay Travis at Outkick facilitated the whole thing. As Whitlock tweeted, ballers get stuff done, wannabees just virtue signal.

If the University gets their way, and they go 40% capacity like little bro, it'll be about 30K. :-)

In all fairness, Iowa State benefits from the fact that their commissioner does whatever Tejas wants.

The B10 commissioner way overstepped his bounds. You know he screwed up when Ohio State signs on to a complaint.

Let’s hear from all the Corona-panic/hysteria dumbshits now who were predicting no college football just a few weeks ago.

Is it true that some B1G teams aren’t practicing or even on campus? I have a hard time believing they will just suddenly start playing football games Oct. 10th
