So, now the "ridiculous" rumor department has Justin Fields transferring back to a team that has no QB of note ...

Just saw another piece (I won't link it) with the expected sour grapes approach that Newman wasn't working out well at UGA.

I guess that is predictable, but if somehow he wasn't going to start ...

...which is in itself a ridiculous statement because JT Daniels just transferred to Georgia but don't tell anybody he's already built a sturdy injury history, was beat out by a freshman, and was extra hyped by playing at a high pedigree high school program filled with future CFB stars.

The Big Ten must turn over additional files related to its football postponement, but Nebraska players will get substantially less documentation than they were seeking.

Daniels is not yet cleared for contact.  They have a fifth year senior who has looked "OK' when he's played, and they might go with him as the lowest risk option initially.

You know, if the B1G would just be more transparent in whatever the hell they are doing, we'd avoid stuff like this.

I really hate social media... 
Parth Tweets out that PSU medical director Sebastianelli claims 35% of B1G athletes who had Covid now have myocarditis. (Orange Asperger Man has his wet dream.) 

Sebastianelli comes out later to say that's not right he was referencing a paper that has since retracted its theoretical numbers down to 15%. (OAM and other doom slayers still liking the negative news.)

Sebastianelli next reports that actual numbers are in fact zero. That's quite the jump from 1/3 of the athletes, to none of the athletes. But too late social media doom slayers all over that first number.

My guess is every single AD/coach wants to play.  The question is how many Presidents do, and what the power structure is.  Do any Presidents actually think this is a good idea, or are the ones who vote yes just the ones who are neutered by their athletic department.

It's gotta do wonders for Big Ten recruiting that parents are protesting the Big Ten.  I hopefully will be pleasantly surprised, but gee whiz they act like basic information is somehow precious cargo that must be held at all costs.
