Both Biden and Trump are running ads in Ohio blaming the other on no football there. People are definitely playing politics with it, no question about it.
Tell me what other pandemics have shut down college football. 2017-18... nope. 2009 nope. 1972 or 77...nope. I think you get the idea.
This hardly impacted life in this country at all this year as we all remember.
How else would you explain this? IT IS POLITICS. Here, let's simplify it to Des Moines. Some kids in Urbandale are going to school and playing football. Some kids live across the street and are attending on-line and not playing football. The only difference is a Political Boundary called a school district. It's not like the virus exists on one-side and not the other.
Why the political decisions are made can be left to the Cave.
I said nothing about it not being a big deal. In fact, I said it was bad. It's still not as bad as pedophilia. I'm done arguing this with you since you only want to make disingenuous arguments.
You're also comparing one horrible person at Penn State to multiple horrible people at Iowa
What were the number of deaths like for those vs. Covid?
The Spanish Flu helped to alter the scheduling of the 1918 season. Some teams didn't play until November. Michigan was named champs at 5-0.
That was well before the hysteria surrounding the event like College Gameday and a much smaller population of people.
It will all depend on their crossover games. They already are going to get to play Purdue, Northwestern, Nebraska and Illinois for sure so if they cross over with Rutgers and Maryland their schedule will be a joke once again
I don't have to make it up, the tweets are right there in public view.
Not sure what inspired this level of outrage today but there's no need to take it out on me. I'm here to answer for anything you think I've made up, but I suspect you're just projecting like usual.
The schedule for Iowa that was released in early August was:
Maryland
at Purdue
at Minnesota
Nebraska
Northwestern
at Illinois
at Penn State
Michigan State
Wisconsin
at Ohio State
If what the Purdue AD says is true, that would mean Iowa would drop either the game at PSU or at OSU as the game dropped is going to be against a team from the East and Iowa had 5 away and 4 home games with the initial schedule.
Drop at OSU and we can play them for the title on 12/19 instead.
I am typing this without looking at the schedules for PSU, Maryland or OSU. Obviously, this simple of a solution wouldnt fly with PSU or OSU only scheduled for 4 home games originally.
The tweet is wrong, I think.
I thought the B1G originally planned on playing 10 conference games.
Drop at OSU and MSU and call it good for Iowa.
