    Big Ten football “expected” to return

    if a season happens I can see some upsets where schools like Rutgers or Maryland may win games they usually don't because of all the disrutions. We saw a couple of upsets in the B12 already. The training camps are not what they usually are. You just don't know how covid will affect these...

    Big Ten football “expected” to return

    glad they are looking to come back and making sure they feel it is medically safe. I hope they institute a bubble type of plan to start to assure no disruptions. It is working in the NBA and NHL well.

    2020 / 21 Season: Playing in a bubble - Discussions underway

    For preseason tournaments thay can easily do this with an ECAC region setup For example: Take a bunch of NJ / NY / PA / DE / CT / MD / RI schools and put them in AC hotels with an Olympic like group stage. Play in the AC Convention Center. Maybe have like 20 teams in this bubble with 4 groups...

    2020 / 21 Season: Playing in a bubble - Discussions underway

    The NBA and NHL have proven a bubble can work. Basketball is easier than football since the rosters are smaller and the equipment needed is less / easier to transport. Unlike the Pros, college bubbles would probably need ot be in boring towns so the kids are not tempted. Imagine a bubble in...

    Big 10 Football Season to Start Thanksgiving Week?

    They should still do bubble games that is like a bowl game set up - 7-10 days before game - teams arrive at neutral location (ie. Indy, Minny, or Detroit) - teams are tested twice before the depart for the neutral site over 10 days - teams are tested again the day they arrive and then midweek...

    2020 / 21 Season: Playing in a bubble - Discussions underway

    I like the idea mechanics need to be worked out where you do the bubble and then have 1 week off before reentering quarantine hopefully with testing they can shorten the quarantine period to 1 week.

    Big Ten Spring Football Has Momentum

    being able to start Xmas and New Years week would be good as a way to maybe work with the bowl locations and have games in warm weather cities. For cold weather months they should look for neutral site games in Indy, Detroit, Minny, and / or FL / AZ. Considering any vaccine will still be in...

    Idea for Spring football / other sports with a partial bubble

    yep, they should be online except when they can't (ie. lab classes but with precautions). These are not pro athletes and they don't have the same advantages the pro leagues have. At this point classes should be online and sports should be on hold. all it takes is 1 kid to get Covid via...

    Idea for Spring football / other sports with a partial bubble

    we want college sports but it has to be safe. The MLS welcome back tourney is a great model to follow. As much as we want college football back, we can't gamble with these kids lives.

    Canceling the Season is the Right Thing to Do

    I view college sports different from pro pro sports is needed as a distraction to the virus and politics - pros have resources that the rest of us don't like ability to test every day and be in a bubble. they also have a union and can opt out - college players are students and most will never...
