You wouldn't know that around here.



We lament the internet age and all its trappings, but the wiki on the name is super thorough and a reminder of the info at our finger tips.

Does anyone else see the connection between regions cancelling football/and not with the N/S breakdown of the Civil War? 
The midwest and CA breaking one way, the south and plains breaking the other way, with the border states siding with the south this time.



Humans are good at seeing patterns and associating them with things. It often says more about the human than the reality at hand.

That said, it is interesting that our large public universities are as geographically concentrated as they are. I find that much more interesting. (Poor Iowa is a state divided in this nonsensical exercise)

Yes. Clearly Fro is trying to insinuate something about black people.

Football Championship Subdivision powerhouse North Dakota State has interest in playing the Huskers, the school's athletic director Matt Larsen confirmed to InForum.com in Fargo, North Dakota.

An NDSU spokesperson confirmed to the Journal Star on Wednesday afternoon that the school has reached out to Nebraska about playing. He said NDSU wants to play up to three games this fall, including perhaps one FBS opponent.

The Bison were originally supposed to play at Oregon on Sept. 5, but the Pac-12 joined the Big Ten in first nixing nonconference play before ultimately pulling the plug on football this fall altogether.

I'd love for that to be the case, however how many of those black people are decison-makers at the universities in question?

Because that's where I saw a similarity?

I don’t think it’s that “ far fetched”.  Not so much a civil war analogy as much as a political one. Let’s be truthful - everything related to the pandemic has been politicized much to our dismay. You could have easily predicted that the conferences based in the north in the far west would be the ones most likely to bow out and the ones based in the South would opt to try to play 

you could also make a valid argument that leaves Ohio State has the most vulnerable school from a recruiting standpoint given that they have the current top rank class and are considered the standard bearer for the Big Ten.   It’s already happening many schools are already coming after their big recruits.

Yeah, see, you typed it all out.  I just shared the initial thought.  Same difference.
