Red/Red: Team must stop regular practice and competition for a minimum of seven days and reassess metrics until improved.

so, is this a forfeit?

I say if you can't manage the safety of your team, you forfeit and the opponent gets the "V" in the "W" column

Population positivity rate??

is this the population of the Athletic department?  the population of football operations team and support staff?  The entire campus population?  The population of the city or the state?

My guess, is it's the local/municipal population.

That's been a common metric used for school opening/closing all around the country, so it would make sense the football programs would use it, too.

Yeah, you don't need to worry about them.

I'd be more concerned with the college kids sharing beer bongs and doing tequila shots out of each others' ass-cracks.

I'll admit I'm not quite sure what to think about it. 

Still, I'm surprised that the presidents are going this way given that campus-driven outbreaks are still going strong in Madison, IC, and East Lansing (and possibly Champaign).

I think ELA mentioned that much of the pivot on strategy is probably more driven by PR problems than a reevaluation of the health aspects. 

Which of course is why they pushed it out to late Oct and reduced it to 8 games--more time to watch the other conferences and pivot back to not playing, if necessary. If they have to cancel then, there won't be a PR hit for doing it.

Now the question is... What will the P12 do?

On CCG day, the Big Ten will do full division matchups. Camps meet, but so do second place teams, third and so on.

This idea is excellent

2019 version would've been:

Ohio State 9-0 vs. Wisconsin 7-2
Penn State 7-2 vs. Minnesota 7-2
Michigan 6-3 vs. Iowa 6-3
Indiana 5-4 vs. Illinois 4-5
Michigan State 4-5 vs. Purdue 3-6
Maryland 1-8 vs. Nebraska 3-6
Rutger 0-9 vs. Northwestern 1-8

I've wanted this for years. Call it 'Seeding Saturday' instead of Championship.

Rutger 0-9 vs. Northwestern 1-8

I'm assuming some of those would have been rematches?  Does the B1G currently play 6 division games and 3 non-division games?

At least this year, the reduced schedule will further limit the chances for rematches among those games.

Also, I suppose there's a chance that some of the regular-season games will get canceled and potentially reduce the rematches even further.

P12? My guess is they don't play.

So, has anyone seen Kevin Warren yet? Did he announce this? or have an intern slide a document off to a Milwaukee Journalist? 

I'm happy (but still concerned) about the decision to try and play football, but flopping their stance has done nothing to alleviate my biggest issue which is a lack of communication and transparency.  

'Sources' are saying it's the addition of Rapid Testing that has caused the shift. But the rapid testing they are using we have had access to for at least 4 months now. Am I to really believe that the enlightened B1G leaders really didn't know about Rapid testing when the idiot, I'm sorry, POTUS has been harping about them for months? They didn't know about Rapid testing when all 4 of the other power conferences have contracts with Rapid Testing companies? Come on, really?

Kevin Warren get out in front of a camera and answer the questions that are being asked. Respond to Athletic Directors and other conference leaders. Respond to parents. Respond to the Athletes you claim you have the best interests of. Don't just flop your decision because the outcry has been loud and sustained; all that will do is piss off the other half of the populace.

MLB should have done that with the Cardinals and Marlins, but didn't.

I thought the "make sure all the players get it over the summer so they're back in time for the season" strategy was supposed to be a joke?
