So, in your mind, pointing out possible flaws is whining? Does that mean you are whining about whining?
Sure...whatever.
this site has truly jumped the shark this year

My one question - why would the Big 10 want this to fail? Save face, sure. But they also realize that playing is the only way the programs can receive tens of millions of dollars in revenue. Are the controls strict? Yes - but they do not want this to fail.
Take off the blinders.Take off the tinfoil
The bolded part is what I don't like. Our ability to play a game is dependent on how the kids behave at other schools like Rutgers.I don't think they want to fail, but they are being so restrictive to cover their ass. They are still thinking like a bunch of lawyers. A 5% test positive is extremely low. Three weeks quarantine is above and beyond what the CDC recommends.
I think it can work. I think it is up to the players to make it work. Being this strict is probably to appease the schools that didn't want to play.
LSU football coach Ed Orgeron said Tuesday that most of his team has contracted COVID-19.
"Not all of our players, but most of our players have caught it," Orgeron told reporters. "I think that hopefully they won't catch it again, and hopefully they're not out for games.
I would take any games ..... would you be happy with 7?, how bout 6, 5?, man I would be thrilled with as few as 4. Cause we would still be practicing, getting reps (granted some may not be against competition In the case of cancellations) but reps nevertheless, AND COACHING!!! the offensive players have only been coached up by the coordinator for two spring practices and whatever they have been allowed since late July.I may not be in agreement with the sentiment of "no football", but the stringent standards will make it nearly impossible for most B1G teams to complete an eight game season in eight straight weeks...that is for sure.

I'm not really worried about our team with the staff we have.
I don't know, having so many walk-ons could prove to be a problem. A walk-on with little to no chance of playing may be less likely than a starter to rigorously follow all strict guidelines, restrictions and regulations throughout the season.Were it better position percentage wise since we have so many walk on's. What's our roster, like 145?
Just watch...the 'other teams' walk on programs will explode. Those walk-ons will be stuck in a bubble with hookers, blow, and Play-stations and fed gourmet food daily with no outside contact for 10 weeks.
(I'm kidding....sort of)
My first thought after reading this was this was an advantage for us. With the walk on program, easy to manipulate the roster. If you are a walk on and get Covid, you are off the team until winter conditioning. If you have a schollie and get Covid, no worries, have 75 walk ons to keep the % down. Ok great, so WE can play but what if our opponent can’t?It would certainly seem like they are looking for reasons to shut down play as opposed to finding ways to make it work. 5% would be 6 players on a team. That's nothing. So the whole team shuts down? If a player sits for 3 weeks, does the entire team sit for 3 weeks if the 6 player threshold is met? They will not have any teams to play this year. And the P3 will clown them all the way. What a complete joke.
First I thought it wouldn't matter if there's a forfeit or not, but they may need to count it as such to determine the division winners for CCG game. Other wise would a 6-0 team get in ahead of a 7-1 team?So if the Huskers are ready to play and our opponent isn't because of Covid what exactly happens? Is it a forfeit or simply a canceled game? There's no room for make up games so really both teams are eliminated from a chance at making the CCG? It's almost impossible to think with 14 teams playing there won't be canceled games. Nebraska would simply play as many games as possible which at this point in time is anyones guess. This is some crazy stuff but at least we have a chance to play some football this year.
I completely disagree with having a player out for 21 days if testing positive which is more then double CDC guidelines.
Yea... seems like you'd have to count a forfeit in the win column? That will be interesting to see how that's handled. Not fair that a team that has to cancel screws up the opponent. Just hope the Huskers aren't one of the teams that's forced to cancel for covid!First I thought it wouldn't matter if there's a forfeit or not, but they may need to count it as such to determine the division winners for CCG game.
