I'm surprised Purdue didn't vote for the season... Daniels has been one of the most outspoken about returning to campus of most B1G Presidents.

Rumor that Nebraska and Iowa were the only 2 to vote against it

So, can Big Ten players get waivers to transfer to SEC schools immediately?

IU was supposed to be good this year (by IU standards). This is the most IU football thing of all time. Our football team is good but the season is cancelled due to a pandemic. That's IU football in a nutshell.

Meanwhile little league baseball has been going on for at least a month, out here. They and theirs must be made of sterner stuff than these big bad college athletes. 

This is getting ridiculous.

Done. Now, we wait to see what the rest of the conferences will do. PAC will probably cancel tomorrow.

My son and daughter have been playing AAU basketball for the last month. Other than a couple teams dropping out of one tournament due to being quarantined there have been no issues.

My kids were in strength and conditioning camps through most of the summer, and attended some soccer practices.  No issues.  It's all outdoors though, nothing was inside.

My daughter has been playing travel softball for 2 months.  But again, this is all voluntary.  There is no pressure to play Little League or travel sports and there is no media scrutiny.

If there is an outbreak on a major college football team it will get major coverage and you will for sure start having players saying they never felt safe but were getting pressure from coaches and were afraid of losing their scholarships.

This is about avoiding liability and blame.

This all feels so backwards.

The academically distinguished Big Ten cancels their season, and all the fans of B10 teams bitch and moan.  
The academically limited SEC plans on playing and recruiting teams from other conferences, dragging its feet on prudence, and is lauded.

This is bizzaro-world.  

The B10 is being proactive and prudent.  These are kids - kids that can spread the virus as much as anyone.  A low % of them will be hospitalized and a still lower % will die.....but those numbers are >0%.  

Some of you are in rare form today.

This is a virus so terrible that you have to take a test to find out if you even have it and has a recovery rate north of 99%. And if you limit it to college age kids, the recovery rate is close to 100%. So of course we should cancel the season.

My son started up soccer practice and games in July.  The club he's part of has had a couple coaches test positive (and hence, coaches rotating to cover practice) and he's had 1/5 of his teammates sit out due to exposure or testing positive.

If the SEC plays, I would think the BIG would say something like... "bad information was leaked..."  "we will have the season..."
