If football is played in the spring, with the number of top players who opt out, Penix could be the best qb in the ncaa.

Complete and utter crap.

Pac 12 expected to follow suit later today.

[RaceToTheTop 23,571]

First time in the history of Indiana football where the fan base isn't happy to still be playing after January 1st.  :)

Pac 12 announcement to go to spring to come in a half hour.

[Brass Cannon 24,064]

I honestly doubt we see spring sports tbh. Unless people start distancing and using masks

COVID sucks

[mdn82 25,456]

It’s sucks, but can’t say I am surprised.  I am just disappointed that it is ok for 40,000 people to be on campus, but not ok for 150 or so people with players and staff in a semi controlled environment.

Doesn't make sense that way.  With the possible heart issues this is causing they just don't want the liability, nothing to do with the health of players.

The dominos continue to fall

Well I am guessing if they start going by calendar year that’s going to mean no basketball before January.  ****!

Better hope we see the SEC and ACC follow suit sooner rather than later, otherwise Allen can kiss his Tampa pipeline goodbye.

Basketball conferences should just start working on plans for bubbles. 
 

Then maybe a 16 team Tourney bubble. Would only have to maintain it for 11 days 

[HoosierDYT 1,746]

Sad decision. Hopefully players are allowed to transfer without sitting out. Would be crazy to see some OSU players in the SEC

Can they do that if they don’t provide the same bubble for women’s sports too?  I just don’t see them putting that level of money into this with how much they are losing out on.

Probably being too simplistic here, but I always hated Nebraska, Rutgers and Maryland in the Big Ten. I think now is the perfect opportunity to give Nebraska the boot. It is, and always has been, a much, much better fit in the Big 8/Big 12.

I wanted to get excited about our basketball team's improved tourney chances with the Pac-12 cancelling, then I remembered the Pac-12 typically only sends 2-3 teams to the tournament.

Bubble together?  
 

Saint Joseph’s abandoned university would be a great site imo. Enough housing, food courts. A few gyms and most importantly a basketball court

Watched the majority of Kevin Warren’s press conference with BTN. Gotta say I was really disappointed. He dodged all of the questions and used boilerplate language “it’s about the players safety and always has been” over and over.

Certainly disagree with the decision, but his answers have me even more disappointed.

I'm going to ask this again, would people be this upset if all Fall Sports but football was canceled? It shouldn't matter if it is a "cash cow". If one goes they all go.

They canceled the other cash cow in March and it looks like they will with at least the non conference portion of the season. I don't/didn't like it then or now.
