It's easier to tread water if you let the stranglers drown.... just say'n.

Maybe Michigan's Prez has a motive: Piss off Harbaugh so bad that he resigns & then MU is off the hook for that ignoramus contract they gave him...

It says the are wanting to play in the spring? Who are they planning on playing against and for what reason?

Maybe the PAC.

There's are also some lockdown things happening in Michigan that may be affecting things, too.

If Mich and MSU went to court Whitlocks lockdown crap wouldn't be upheld.

This could / should ruin these programs if they are the only two teams in the Big 10 that choose not to play. When Rutgers and Maryland play and you don't, that's a really bad look.

Maybe the PAC.

if fall teams couldn’t explore options, spring teams shouldn’t be able to either.

Maybe Desmond can sit on the sidelines with them.

Interestingly (but not surprisingly), this doesn't fit the latest rumor/narrative that the Big Ten will only go forward if all teams agree to play.

Has Sir Yacht confirmed this?

Let's say this is true that Michigan and Michigan State aren't going to play. The best way to handle this is to put these teams on everyone's schedule and boost the number of games to 10 instead of 8. That way, each team who is playing can get the extra two W's and will have similar number of games scheduled as other Power 5 conferences. Plus, with Michigan and Michigan State each going 0-12, they can each get 12% of the revenue for the season. Change my mind.

How exactly would it ruin their programs not playing for 1 season?

Because their recruiting will absolutely go in the tank
