They can do what they want but when they have a meeting last week and decide to delay till spring what message does this send? what will their plan be next week? or next month. This makes them look like wishy washy candy a's who cant make a decision and stick with it.

No it makes a very poor commish in Kevin Warren. He won't survive this, for sure...

Warren might be the fall guy. Kind of feel bad for him. I doubt he made this decision, he was only communicating the decision of the presidents/chancellors of the B1G members.
Looks like they didn’t really all agree, or some that did agree are regretting their decisions. Hope he gets a nice severance after only working 8 months.

Kevin Warren took the job at the worst possible time. It was the B1G college presidents that made this decision and he has no power over them. Being a rookie in the job, he really wasn't in position to do anything other than go with the flow.
The guy has a really bright future but he may want to return to the NFL. College sports and college politics may not be his thing.

That’s weird that Michigan wants to play but MSU doesn’t.***

I suspect the new staff at MSU has found a fairly bare cupboard.

Why not football powerhouse Maryland? ??
Also, now Harbaugh can lose two more times to OSU and take his record to 0-7 vs. his rivals. Not sure how long he can survive without beating them.

With only 5 teams and playing each other twice, they wouldn't get to the playoffs or Natty game doing that, would they??.

If somebody runs that table it would be way more impressive than us running ours.

yeah I'd be shocked too. I think it is window dressing to try and save face.

Pretty sure 5 teams playing home and home only equals an 8 game schedule, but I wasn't a math major.

Its eight games bc each team can’t play themselves.
1v2, 2v1, 1v3, 3v1, 1v4, 4v1, 1v5, 5v1 gives you eight matchups. A sixth team (1v6, 6v1) would give you 10 games for each team.
Definitely would be interesting to watch play out.

You're being played for clickbait.

You may think that Hookstead is your buddy because you're both "freedom-lovin beer drinkers." But he's laughing at you right now as you continue to retweet his drivel.
I mean, it's great you get your inside info from that noted paragon of sports journalism, The Daily Caller, but what you're reading there is not reporting...it's word slop to feed the Twitter pigs.
Do you really think the Big 10 is going to reverse course on a decision that big? Take your head out of your posterior. Even if they now regret it--and they don't--cancelling the season (they're not playing in the spring either) is not a decision you pull the trigger on unless you swear "no takebacks" first.
To think otherwise is not actually thinking at all...it's blindly hoping against all sense and logic...like a child.
And try getting your news from, oh, I don't know, an actual news organization with things like journalists, sources, and credibility.
Good day, sir.

Sorry Charlie, but there isn't a media source that has the type of journalism that you speak of!!!

That would be 6 teams. Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, PSU, OSU, Michigan. A 9-1 record would get you in the playoff, IMO.

I agree. That would be playing 3 top 25 teams twice at least.
