you’d still complain. If they tell everyone To play, they either assume liability themselves or they are pushing it onto the schools. they have little skin in the game, so why should they make the decision? The conferences have the most to gain or lose so it should be their decision. If they canceled it, you‘d say they were only looking out for their own interests and Should let them play if they want. The NCAA is more like the legislative and judicial branches of our government, not like a monarchy or dictatorship that you view them as.

Ohio State, Nebraska and the other 12 members of the Big 10 (sounds like 14) WILL NOT play a college football game this fall, I guarantee it. This is just meaningless chatter posturing to keep kids from getting out of Dodge. If I’m wrong I’ll take my crow medium well!

No need for that. We know about your source and no one is doubting their sincerity. But it seems like this is a situation of "immovable object vs. irresistible force".

After the turmoil we've had with our BOT vs. program, watching them fighting it out from the cheap seats is just delicious.

Been right so far and he thinks there’s no chance, just some idle chatter. Sadly looks like the power 5 could have addressed this situation late spring as a coalition and fumbled the ball a united front may have worked according to my man. He’s been spot on so far! Just too bad the can got kicked so far down the road.

Apparently they have power but are not dictators, therefore they are doing their jobs.

You’re a Child. why do the nfl owners have goodell? Because that’s basically what the NCAA is to college football. Why do nfl owners give him $40m a year, just to hand out fines and suspensions? He is supposed to serve their interest, but when it Really comes Down to the owners money, they vote Like the conferences just did, because it’s their money at stake, Not the ncaas. They don’t leave it up to goodell to make the decision. you think the owners (aka conferences) are going to listen if goodell (NCAA) says they Shouldn’t play football this year When it’s their asses on the line for Hundreds of millions of dollars? The NCAA is a governing body, and It’s power is to make And enforce rules to keep up the amateur model, and the schools operate under those rules to be a part of that model....Not tell schools what to do when Hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake

what is their job according to you? Manage everyone’s risk and money? Ok

That’s BS, a united front. They would be exactly where they are today, even with some made up coalition. The SEC isn’t taking its marching orders regarding football from the pansies running the PAC, or any other group that doesn’t represent the SECs best interest.

That's not what he's talking about. The common ground is that it's in everyone's interest to have a full season.

You’re all over the place:

In another thread, when you were first triggered by my comments of the NCAA, you compared their power to that of Trump, and you used the example of cancelling of the NCAA March Madness tourney as a cited example.

Now, you’re saying how they don’t have this type of power, yet is just a governing body....and you’re comparing them to the commissioner of the NFL.

Let me give u some free advice: Stfu.

No coalition was ever going to work in this scenario. They weren’t going to agree unanimously either way. That coalition would have broken up because of the massive cracks.

These conferences already know it’s in their best interest to have a season, especially from a financial standpoint, but they can’t agree on if it’s feasible health wise. Hence the different directions.

I get that. I don't know the extent of the conversations between conferences (there certainly were some between the Big 10 and PAC 12 inasmuch as their announcement appeared coordinated). And if there were any with the SEC/ACC, I wouldn't think they'd dictate terms to them. It's not the way to begin a negotiation.

But what do I know. Who knows the hubris of the Big 10.
