Yeah, no one go all PIT on this, but this is bad news for the Big 10 commissioner.
in the end, EMAW will always win.

Open up bars and this is what happensSame damn story led the news up here about flood aggieWe saw Sturgis, tooI do think Sturgis is different than what's happening in college towns. Nobody made those boomers and Xers go up to South Dakota. They are also 2 to 3 times older than these college kids. You can't send these kids to these small towns then tell them they can only have part of the experience. You send your kid to college, I would think you are sending them with the expectation they are going to do college stuff.Re: SturgisI had reason to be in the area of Sturgis last weekend (not related to the motorcycle rally) and have enjoyed you all finger wagging and #boomermeming, but how about we take a data driven approach instead? This is imperfect of course, since vast numbers of people travel in to Sturgis and then leave a week later, but there can be some value in looking at the infection numbers of Meade and Pennington counties. The day before Sturgis started the total active cases for those two counties was 139. Today the total active cases are 135, net -4. I will check back in the next week but so far it appears the communal mask shaming and assumption of a certain outbreak has been unwarranted...so far. I think we will find this can be applied to students returning to college as well. Bringing together low risk, low infection rate populations from a large area and concentrating them in one location does not inherently mean there will be an outbreak and that everyone's grandma is being murdered. There will be a few campuses that have issues of course, but most will probably be fine. It is way too early but Riley County has 60 active cases as of today, we will see where this goes in the next few weeks. Sturgis area as of 8-24 had 217 active cases and Riley County had 138, pretty significant increases in terms of percentage but maybe not in terms of population.

Quote from: Pete on September 01, 2020, 01:30:07 PMYeah, no one go all PIT on this, but this is bad news for the Big 10 commissioner. I don't imagine he is long for that job anyways.

Whenever a conference or a league does something unpopular, we always hear about the commissioner doing the bidding for the owners or presidents/chancellors. We know, we always knew the Big Ten took a vote. Unlike what has become modus operandi in the Pac 12, no UP has called Warren out. Knowing all of this, Warren has been made to be everything from moronic to duplicitous by fans, media, and players parents and there are all kinds of rumors of him losing his job. It would be curious if not obvious. Luckily the UPs who hired him to take unpopular stances will stick with him.
I am only against the big 10 having football because of the LOL's it'll bring when we're playing and Nubs is not.

I still think parents/fans will want a scapegoat. I think he’ll be gone at the end of the season regardless of any outcomes.

How does the NCAA survive two years of no tournament?
The NCAA was dissatisfied with its Johnson County, Kansas suburban location, noting that its location on the south edges of the Kansas City suburbs was more than 40 minutes from Kansas City International Airport. They also noted that the suburban location was not drawing visitors to its new visitors' centre.[36]In 1997, it asked for bids for a new headquarters. Various cities competed for a new headquarters with the two finalists being Kansas City and Indianapolis. Kansas City proposed to relocate the NCAA back downtown near the Crown Center complex and would locate the visitors' centre in Union Station. However Kansas City's main sports venue Kemper Arena was nearly 30 years old.[36] Indianapolis argued that it was in fact more central than Kansas City in that two-thirds of the members are east of the Mississippi River.[36] The 50,000-seat RCA Dome far eclipsed the 17,000-seat Kemper Arena. In 1999, the NCAA moved its 300-member staff to its new headquarters in the White River State Park in a four-story 140,000-square-foot (13,000 m2) facility on the west edge of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. Adjacent to the headquarters is the 35,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) NCAA Hall of Champions.[37]
Makes you wander what percentage without a COVID diagnosis have myocarditis.
Myocarditis is usually caused by a viral infection. A severe case can weaken the heart, which can lead to heart failure, abnormal heartbeat, and sudden death. Symptoms include chest pain, abnormal heartbeat, and shortness of breath.
Yes, anyone who has had severe influenza can have myocarditis. All athlete should be tested for Myocarditis, COVID or not, and not allowed to play if positive.
