I think there are competing interests within the Big Ten, and this is one side throwing its salvo to justify no football. Because you can’t deny the fact that there are people within the schools trying to start the season back up - whether it’s late September or early October. Restarting is an actual serious discussion point, that obviously some within are trying to tamp down.
As far as debating the merits or lack thereof, this is as bad as the conspiracy theory that say Covid is a nefarious plot.
This is literally joke science, and I’d like to see somebody try to debate me on it, because there literally is NO DATA being presented, just hearsay meant to achieve a purpose
