Football is too big to fail, but unlike Wall Street, it means something more to the people & is a staple of communities across the country.
People love to harp on saying "there are more important things than Football!" Well yeah no shìt, but Football is more than just a game for a lot of folks, on all levels in High School, College & the Pro's, it's the best representation of unity, fairness & meritocracy that you can get in America, it has the ability to change the lives of thousands of people & teach life lessons to kids that you can't really learn any place else.
Throwing it away just isn't an option, beyond just the entertainment value of it, Football is a vertebrae of our culture, the Bill Gates Wuhan weapon is not strong enough to defeat it, CTE scares isn't strong enough, even in the midst of all the fcked up social unrest & police brutality that's going won't stop it, nothing short of a fúckin Asteroid coming down from the sky simultaneously crushing hundreds of stadiums at once would be enough to keep the nation from playing this game. So all the efforts that get used to constantly try & shut it down will always be met with immediate rejection.
The B1G Presidents were banking on a snowball effect to get Footall cancelled, that's why it leaked out to the media when it was first announced, they tried to plant that seed & have it spread that Footbal will be cancelled & everyone would panic & follow suit. They gave a little crumb of information to their lap dog college football writers & those mf'ers ate it up, they were all on Twitter writing the obituary on the 2020 Fall season pouring it on heavy, then 2 days later the ACC & SEC was like, "Nah we good, we're just gonna wear masks, rub some dirt on it, drink some Tussin' for that shît & take a nap, we're still playing". That left the B1G scrambling...
The Pac-12 don't care, they wasn't playing Football no matter what anybody said, they were just waiting on somebody else to make the decision for them lol.
