You guys read the SI article?  I can’t link on mobile, but it’s about the upcoming year.  Doesn’t sound good

Rutgers has postponed on campus activities for the fall.

Can BIG take this opportunity to show them the door?

Doubtful. There are rumblings that NU and Illinois will not play either. The Michigan schools are very questionable right now. 
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

You are not being creative.   'Given the renegade actions undertaken by Rutger,  without the appropriate collaboration with our member institutions the BIG cannot tolerate its members to go it alone.  This is a unified body and we will continue to make these kinds of decisions as a Conference.  On behalf of the BIG we are removing Rutger as a member of the BIG effective immediately, pursuant to Section 83(c)(4) of our Agreement with Rutger.'

I guess right now the plan is to play these games at least.  I can see they have to plan for them.  This is a shot in the arm for the economy around here.

If it were up to Chik-fil-A, they'd be played in full stadiums without masks.

Chik-Fil-A here has one of the best COVID mitigations strategies I've seen.  I don't know why they'd want full stadia, they would be more interested in eyeballs on TV sets.

I suspect UNL will be one of the last schools to say the season is cancelled.   Nebraska has not been hit by COVID and if family and friends are any indication of the general opinions across the state... COVID is just the flu.  The frenzy is created by the media.   This is not a Nebraska problem but just a few locations across the US.   

I don't agree with them, but that seems to be the general consensus.

My friend in Montana thinks much the same, nonissue.

Nebraska is just outside the top 10 states for cases/1M population, though thankfully they're probably around 30th or so (I didn't exactly count) on deaths/1M. 

Montana is near the best in the nation on both cases/1M population and deaths/1M population. But their daily cases are spiking hard over the last 3-4 weeks, so we'll see if they get a handle on it or it develops into a big problem.
