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.

As soon as you put forth a single argument as to why the NCAAs job is to tell hundreds of their constituents how to manage their individual risk and money. Your have people manage your money and Tell you how to spend it?

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!

I don’t want to speak for him, but I’m pretty sure @brock would appreciate it if you would agree to take your crow well done.

They just need to hate and blame somebody else when others exercise a different opinion or action. Their beliefs go contrary to democracy, Constitution and BILL of Rights, yet the IDIOTS believe they more American than anybody who disagrees with them. Facts don't matter to these Anti-American flag waving IDIOTS.

Completely agree, that is the definition of liberals to a T.

Exactly! That ******* conference up north thinks they run the whole show in this country along with the rest of the Yankees always trying to tell everyone what to do. Well they found out real quick they don’t run us, the sec and the big 12 down here as we responded with a big middle finger to them. Predictably the only one that coward to them was the snowflake hippie pussies on the west coast. As far as I’m concerned those two conferences can implode and start to eat there own which as we can see has already started. You reap what you sow! Down south we’re playing some football and I say amen to that!

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

Thank you! Folks can believe what they please, but Five conferences united with the same approach beats five doing their own thing. This includes administration above athletics and for those not getting it, university Presidents and their reps along with ADs should have addressed this situation months ago.
 
So what begins, exactly?

If you mean an FCS opponent is looking for a regional FBS opponent (and hoping to beat it in a one game situation), OK, and?

And if you mean that moronic idea floating that Nebraska might "leave" the Big 10, that was never going to happen for many reasons. All of which were money in the end.

Good suggestion. Consider it well done. I told my guy if he’s wrong I’ll have to eat crow. He said “no chance” hope he’s right again.

Please explain how a coalition would have made a difference here? It wouldn’t have and the facts are there to see. Two of the power 5 said no and the remaining three said yes. They don’t agree on the health concerns, which means they are also worried about liability

No way the other two say yes, or go along, just because a fictious coalition said to play.

All these schools are located in all sorts of geographic locations with different concerns and leadership.

And you do have coalitions deciding, they are called conferences.

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.

As soon as u can articulate a singular, cohesive thought as to what the purpose of the NCAA is regarding leadership, I will. B/c right now, EVERY sportswriter & columnist is questioning the leadership of that entity that GOVERNS the teams that are apart of it’s legislation.

And just so u know, Roger Goodell definitely governs ownership and how the NFL is ran. It’s voted upon, TOGETHER, with him presiding over it. There’s the NFLPA, ownership, lawyers, and Goodell, ALL TOGETHERdiscussing matters pertaining to the league he oversees.

So miss me w/ ur NCAA apologist attitude. Right now ever conference is going rogue; u know why? B/c the governing body is NO WHERE TO BE FOUND TO OVERSEE WHAT’S GOING ON IN ITS LEAGUE.

So they have the power to cancel the NCAA tourney to protect its players & fans, as u eloquently pointed out, but all of a sudden they are handcuffed regarding the NCAA football season? FOH. Don’t reply unless u have a concise answer as to why leadership in the NCAA have not oversaw discussions. We’re not talking bout no **** dictatorship, we’re talking about plans, and overseeing discussions of its league.

OSU has ceased to explore fall options...

I tried to help the fellas out here giving them info from football ops and Gene Smith and it looks like my guy is right again. I guaranteed OSU would not play a game this fall and Day and Gene were posturing trying to keep the team happy. I guess I won’t need to eat that crow! Inday knows what up!

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
