RaceToTheTop Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Sorry for venturing a little off topic here, but this isn’t political — meant to be informative as I expect this isn’t that uncommon in Indiana schools right now. I was told by the head of HR in my district that typically we have a sub pool of 50 potential subs in our district to pull from. This year we have 8. Quote

Not at all surprising. Lots of districts have the same issue with bus drivers many of whom simply didn't want the daily exposure with the kids and/or didn't want to have to have the added responsibility of playing "bad cop" and enforcing all the added health policies. And with that, we now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. RaceToTheTop 1 Quote

RaceToTheTop Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Big 12 adopts guidelines for when a team has to forfeit due to lack of players. So long as they have 53 eligible, including seven OL, 4 DL, and 1 QB, they must play or the game will be considered a forfeit. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29812654/big-12-guidelines-call-53-players-1-quarterback-7-o-linemen Quote

Hoosierfan2017 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 It’s so embarrassing that the Big Ten threw in the towel and yet other conferences with fewer resources are already playing. at least there’s some college football to watch. Alford Bailey and HoosierDYT 2 Quote

SMU and TCU just had to cancel a game at essentially the last minute. And it’s not going to be the last cancellation.

Meanwhile, the Big Ten threw in the towel and didn’t even try. Will there be cancellations? Sure. The MLB has had cancellations too. Yet they kept pushing forward. The Big Ten looks like a joke in the college sports world right now and you know that. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
RaceToTheTop Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 44 players at Tennessee currently unavailable due to either positive covid tests or contact tracing. Yet they probably still would come back from down three scores to beat us in the fourth quarter. Quote
RaceToTheTop Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Refs using electric whistles in the SMU/Texas St game. I will say that there is work to be done there as even in a near empty stadium they are hard to hear. But it has potential if they can get one to produce a frequency distinguishable from crowd noise.

RaceToTheTop Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Games this weekend so far haven’t been close at all. On paper they didn’t appear like they would be although I held out hope that Midfle Tenn St v Army wouldn’t be a blowout. Texas State did put up a fight against SMU. Quote
