3 more cases for UW. Two staff, and one player.

I'm guessing the two staff are people in the QB room. I'm guessing the player is the 3rd string QB.

We know HC PC and OC Joe Rudolph have it, and probably Budmayr, the QB coach.

The league’s Council of Presidents/Chancellors shooting down NU’s proposal to fill a gap in its schedule — left by Wisconsin canceling its trip to Huskerville because of COVID-19 — with Tennessee-Chattanooga, a team ready, willing and able to play in Memorial Stadium on a moment’s notice.

The Big Ten, officially silent on the matter Thursday, voted no in an early-morning meeting. The vote was 11-3.

first, UNL, OSU, and who's the 3rd?  Iowa?

2nd - what's the logic?  The conference makes more money if Nebraska plays.
University administrations are under huge pressure from faculty on the China virus.  Many faculty are literally afraid for their lives and do not want students, staff, themselves, or anyone on campus.  It may be spun as for the health of the students blah blah blah but its faculty bitching behind the over reaction.

They can't allow a NC game.  They made the bed this way, they aren't going come out and try and remake the bed for all to see and allow us to see the #$%% under the covers.  They don't need to, we can smell it.
keep in mind when you say "they" you are actually talking about the university presidents not just the commissioner.  the rules were passed down from the presidents to the AD's etc. and they all came up with this shit plan.  like it or hate it, that was agreed upon to start the league back up this Fall and without these rules there would be no football at all for the big ten (until Spring)

I see a lot of boards bashing Warren but he is really just a manager of the league and the real decisions are made by the presidents (that includes the President of the University of Nebraska)  

yes it would be a benefit for the teams to allow the extra NC games but that wasnt what was agreed upon.  and something like what is happening at Wisconsin (and now I heard Illinois) is going to happen again

the interesting part will be when it hits OSU(as the clear sports leader) and their season gets vomited up.  What the public outcry will be.

no matter what you think of the virus, it is real and has real consequences, some lighter than others and we can all debate back and forth but no one really knows.  as fans we should sit back and just enjoy what we have here this season- an exhibition of a season.  hoping all who contract it, get better with no serious effects

Go Gophers!

Really, this whole thing was managed poorly by the B1G. They should have went with the original plan, with bye weeks built in. This plan we have now is a shit show. UW is only the first team. There will be more. The criteria says so. It's tight.

so, is Warren the commissioner of the academic side of the Big Ten as well?

I understand university faculty and university presidents and administration bitching about everything.  My brother is a university administrator.

Why does Warren allow academic types to have more influence over the athletic side of the conference than is needed?

Because he's not Jim Delany. We'd have had football in September if B1G Jim was still around.

so, the logic is from the faculty - we're all afraid we're going to die?


Chattanooga's traveling roster being on campus restricted to the athletic department area for a few hours is a huge risk?  With all the testing?

great logic from the academic types that are clearly much more intelligent than athletic department folks

The only think a non-con game for Nebraska could do to affect the CFP would be to lose to a terrible team, thus reducing Ohio State's SOS.
I believe the quote had more to do with OSU replacing a game in the future than anything about UNL and the CFP.    UNL has no illusions of playing but the policy is now set and the door is closed on others.   This is why OSU was so quick to publicly support UNL and disagree with the result.

The following is a joint statement from Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos and University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Ronnie Green

"Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the safety and well-being of our Nebraska student-athletes has been our top priority, and we know Wisconsin is operating with the same guiding principle. We wish all of those impacted in the Wisconsin program a quick and full recovery from the virus.

"With the cancellation of the game against Wisconsin, we did explore the possibility of securing a non-conference game for Saturday. The discussions we had were with teams that had already implemented stricter testing protocols than those mandated by the Big Ten Conference. Those details were non-negotiable if we were to bring a non-conference opponent to Lincoln.

"At Nebraska, we will always make decisions based on what is best for our student-athletes, and to provide them with the best possible experience during their college careers. To this point, the young men in our program have worked hard to prepare for the football season and have made the necessary sacrifices in order to play in this unusual environment. With an already shortened season, we owed it to our student-athletes to explore any possible option to play a game this week.

"We believe the flexibility to play non-conference games could have been beneficial not only for Nebraska, but other Big Ten teams who may be in a similar position as the season progresses. The ability for all Big Ten members to play a non-conference game if needed could provide another data point for possible College Football Playoff and bowl consideration.

"Ultimately, the Big Ten Conference did not approve our request, and we respect their decision. We are excited to move forward with preparations for the rest of the season, beginning with next week's game at Northwestern."



many of our friends across the BIG miss the fact that UNL actually didn't go public with this... but UTCC did...  UNL did follow procedures and went through the BIG process without complaint. 

Once public, fans were not happy...

fans just want to watch football

Players and coaches just want to play football

the AD just wants to make money

The Big Ten Commish doesn't give a damn about these interests - just does what the Chancellors tell him to do

On Friday morning’s edition of the Dan Patrick Show, Patrick commented on the Big Ten’s denial to let Nebraska play a non-conference opponent and also reported that Ohio State and Michigan were in the Cornhuskers’ corner regarding letting them play.

I'm somewhat surprised by that.  It was pretty clear early on that Ohio State and Nebraska have been working together through this so I assumed that Nebraska voted for themselves and got Ohio State's vote but the third was a mystery to me.

If another West team goes 7-1, it means they must have played Wisconsin. In that case, 5-1 vs 7-1 would be decided on H2H.

For example, if Minnesota after their loss to Michigan runs the table, and Wisconsin misses the Nebraska and Purdue games but otherwise runs the table except their loss to Minnesota, then Minnesota would be ahead of Wisconsin not based on win% but on the H2H result.

But any team that is 7-1 must have played their full schedule, so they played Wisconsin. Thus a H2H result exists.
I was going to type exactly this, but since you already did, I'll leave this as the answer to @Benthere2 's question.  

The only thing I'll add is that things are moving fast and changing all the time.  While I completely agree with @bwarbiany here, this is just his and my reading of a brand new scheme put in place by the conference recently due to this pandemic.  Between now and December it could change or be reinterpreted such that the result is something else.
