B1G 10 presser today, predict the message.
- Thread starter V1nufanx4
- Start date
This conference has not been afraid to lead in the past.
I predict a mercenary, 14 game slate. No conference games. All OOC.
Objective: Get as many 9-10 win teams as possible to scoop up as much bowl revenue as possible. Might be lots of higher tier bowl slots available if other conferences opt out.

All teams play each other in a round robin format with one bye week.
All covid+ players have to sit out until cleared.
If more than 40% of team is covid+ then they have a two week quarantine.
All revenues for the week are pooled together and divided equally among all schools.
If a team is quarantined, they forfeit those games and lose their revenue share for those weeks.
If both teams are quarantined, the winner will be determined by the two coaches playing Mattel classic handheld football game.
Teams that manage covid best get rewarded.

Love it. Play only OOC games and then give us Iowa in the rose bowl when we are both 13-0. J/k, Iowa never goes undefeated.
Yep, sensing that vibe as well. If the BIG10 decindes not to have a season they should leave it open to the individual schools and programs to be able to create their own schedule and play other teams who are willing. The whole league shouldn't be punished because some schools can't get their **** together (cough cough, looking and you Rutgers) .
seems like the followers at this point. Aren’t they the last power five conference to come out with a schedule b
No schedule for now. Everything on hold due to the outbreak of the virus at Rutgers. But there will have to be some decision in days on if/when Fall Camps will be allowed. I'm guessing they will delay Fall Camps but not make a final decision on the season.
I can get behind this. I honestly think there would be money to be made if each team's best Xbox player did the whole season virtually.
God forbid everyone continues to feel fine while a positive result dictates the livelihood of thousands.
Outbreak of cases. Please.
bust out the waivers, honor scholarships for anyone regardless of participation, let’s f’n go already.
I wouldn't be coughing too much. Everyone in the South was cough, cough at NY in March and April....and now look at what's happening.
Cases in the last 7 days:
NJ- 2,802 in a state with 8.8 million people.
NE- 2,067 in a state with 1.9 million people.
We have nothing to run off at the mouth about.
fun with arbitrary end dates!
NJ has suffered 16k deaths out of 185k cases. the worst in the nation by a country mile, and they will not be caught.
just an astonishingly stupid and meaningless post. you're in charge of children's education, for god's sake. certainly you're better than this?
"fun with arbitrary end dates!"
My 7 day count of new cases was from the CDC....based on what was on their website last night. If you don't like the data, take it up with them. And yes...recent trends matter.
"NJ has suffered 16k deaths out of 185k cases. the worst in the nation by a country mile, and they will not be caught."
Yep.....during the duration of the pandemic. No argument from me......
But Nebraska's numbers of NEW CASES over the past 7 DAYS are worse that New Jersey's relative to the state populations of each.....again....based on info from the CDC last night. If you're doubting the data, I suggest you contact them, as I do not work for the CDC....or go take a hike....it's up to you.

do you not understand the word arbitrary? comparing the last 7 days, whether it's the CDC or anyone else, is absolutely meaningless.
your choosing to post completely arbitrary data while editorializing makes it you, not them, I have an issue with. you're not passing along facts, you're trying to prove a point. don't pass the buck, defend your stance if you believe it's meaningful (it's not).
NJ has had 185k cases. NE has had 27k. at this rate, NE could keep their case count steady while NJ could report literally zero and it would take 80+ weeks (that's more than 18 months) to catch them.
context is important. 7-day stretches? not so much.
your current risk of covid exposure is based on current #s such as % positive rate - not historic data
a persons risk in New York vs Miami is much different today versus back in March
which is why last 7 days is the more relevant statistic to assess current risk of traveling to an area

perhaps if he'd posted about % positives, this post would have merit.
he didn't, so it doesn't.
thanks for playing.
"do you not understand the word arbitrary? comparing the last 7 days, whether it's the CDC or anyone else, is absolutely meaningless."
And the number of cases NJ had compared to NE in March and April is far more arbitrary to current conditions....which is what you seem to be arguing.
"NJ has had 185k cases. NE has had 27k. at this rate, NE could keep their case count steady while NJ could report literally zero and it would take 80+ weeks (that's more than 18 months) to catch them."
Again....not arguing that.
"context is important. 7-day stretches? not so much. surely you're not this big an idiot"
So, you don't think that recent case trends matter more than what happened 3 months ago? If Nebraska was having 2,000 new cases a week over the past 2-3 weeks, and New Jersey was having 30 new cases per week over that stretch, you'd think that is meaningless? That wouldn't be a problem? To me, that tells me that one state is having a spike while another seems to have it under control for the time being. That would tell me that my chances of contracting the virus are greater in Lincoln than in Trenton at this point in time.
Don't tell me about total cases over the past 5-6 months; like I said, I'm not disputing that fact.

OK.....% of new tests that are positive over the past 7 days, as of 2 am CT on 8/5......
New Jersey- 1.5%
Nebraska- 9%
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/testing/tracker/map/percent-positive
does covid go away in that time? based on your previous posts, I would think not. which means all cases are dangerous.
So maybe we shouldn't be scoffing (or "cough, cough") at anyone, since we have the 2nd highest rate of positive new tests over the past 7 days of the B1G states (Iowa...figures)....and higher than CA, WA, OR, or CO of the PAC-12.
as it pertains to the general population, sure.
as it pertains to the B1G football teams? seems like NU's taking it pretty seriously.
I'd agree...and I hope that continues....but I'm not going to poke at other programs, when things can change pretty quickly, even from a simple, innocent misstep (not that you were poking, per se).
let's just hope vedral is okay.
rutgers will need their backup qb available after seeing our new and improved pass rush.
Vedral should be the starter, hands down. He’s that good. He just didn’t get a fair shake here in Nebraska.
And considering the rate of new positives in each state it isn't out of the realm that Nebraska (the program) gets hit at some point.
All I'm saying is that I'm not going to poke at other programs for having a slew of positive tests when that can easily be the Huskers with 1 or 2 innocent missteps.
