This season is such a farce for a lot of programs who want to claim football is their "brand."

Keeps Michigan from taking another L on the season. I'm guessing it has more to do with that than COVID.

i want to know how a conference who had a month extra time to prepare for this has been hit hardest by it? this is not hyperbole, this is a serious question

Not a surprise. Sucks for these student-athletes to have one of the best experiences of their life so f*cked up from all this, glad the NCAA gave them an extra year.

I am not terribly familiar with any other conference rules but the B1G has protocols where players have to be out for 21 days with a positive test. That is more than any other conference, I believe.

Isnt there another team in the conference Iowa can play. If other games are not going to happen why not move some games around.

Teams can opt out if they want and the way they are handling positive cases is messing them up.

As of now, the only games to be cancelled are Iowa/UM and IU/PU. Both teams in the IU/PU matchup have Covid issues so scheduling one of them isnt an option.

Georgia is open this week and reached out to Iowa this morning and they said no. I'm guessing there is no conference games they would take either

Don't think anyone would expect them to even be able to not say no to a non-con game.. B1G made that clear.

Why would any B1G team be bound by out-of-conference rules now? The conference season is over.

Why are trying to ruin his troll. This is common knowledge.

Georgia thought Iowa could go and try to make it happen since the regular season is over but Barta didn't even entertain the idea

Low point for Michigan's program in at least 50 years. Sad sack team that is quitting on the stool. Any other team cancel 3 games in a row this year? And paying a coach $9M a year for all of it.
