At Michigan they never lose, they just run out of time.

According to Dave Biddle of Bucknuts.com, Day and Harbaugh got into it on a recent Big Ten coaches phone call. In that call, Harbaugh interrupted Day while he was speaking to allege that Al Washington was working with the Ohio State linebackers earlier than they were allowed by the NCAA.

Day then fired back at him “How about I worry about my team and you worry about yours?” Apparently, Harbaugh was complaining after Washington was supposedly in a picture that showed him working with the linebackers. It’s unclear if that is true or not.

Afterwards in a meeting with his team, Day said “The Big Ten better have a mercy rule because we’re going to hang 100 on them”

Jim has a mix of aspergers and CTE, plus I'm pretty sure he's on meds. Just a weird f'ing dude.

You'd think he'd not want to poke the bear considering Ohio State has wiped the floor with him the last two years. Day gonna drop 70 on Jim easy this year.

Something that has surprised me a bit - I figured positive tests would happen.  But the posititve tests seem to be getting the coverage.  The uncertain part - would this affect players, was less certain.  So the story of the Indiana player having to go to the hospital and potentially having heart issues, and Clemson player Xavier Thomas is apparently out for a while due to COVID and strep throat, seems to be flying a bit under the radar.

Can't get in the way of the $$$$$$$$.

With all these potential All-Americans and 1st rounders sitting out, this will be a "Backups National Championship."

FCS has canceled its postseason football play. Over half of the schools have canceled fall football at the FCS level. Missouri Valley Conference has moved its football season to an 8-game spring schedule.

apparently NIU’s pres is an infectious disease specialist. Said they were out, and the league didn’t like the look of playing down a man.

I don't get why everyone doesn't do this.  You are gambling on getting through a shortened season, with no fans, in the fall, where if it fails, you are probably done.  Why not shoot for a shortened season, with fans, in the spring.

I think they're betting the bold isn't true. 

I'm guessing they're not pulling the trigger because they think spring is a fallback.

Honestly would be hard to justify forcing college kids to play through this pandemic. NFL players, I get it. They are professionals that are paid millions and millions of dollars.
