reports from UNL state that the entire football roster has been under strict rules since arriving on campus in July

Yes, they are definitely going to have less sex, now that they have a lot more free time. Great call.

If I were king I'd probably have them playing right now, and try to get the season over before October.  Or I'd be looking at April and May.  I would not try to fool around with winter.

not sure about Frost's discipline procedures, but it's safe to say the 100 young men on the roster are behaving in a safer manner than the general student body
That's funny.

Can't do winter in most places. The stadia get winterized and shut down.

Yes, they know damn well that they won't be playing in January and February. 

They are liars as well as bitches.

I do feel bad for the coaches.  Especially Ryan Day.  I think he feels like he had a pretty high potential team this year.  With what he has been able to do with QBs, it would have been nice to see, for the first time, what he could do with a QB in his second year starting.  He has not yet had that opportunity. I would have loved to see what Fields could do with a year under his belt, and healthy.

To Day’s credit, he is pressuring the Big to get the plans for a spring season done NOW.

Do you mean "most places in the rust belt?" :)

Because down here, we don't shut down or winterize the stadiums.  They're used throughout the winter for various other activities.

Pretty sure ISU and the Kansas schools have to shut them down. There is no place on earth that gets a cold as Kansas, or as hot.

The farther from the coast, the more extreme the temps.  So they've got that working for them.
But I'd say that Kansans are just a pack of braggarts on this.  I'll bet the difference between the highs and the lows is greater in the Dakotas than it is in Kansas.  Not quite as hot at the high end, but much colder at the low end.

Yes. The upper plains are no joke, though it isn't as if Kansas can't be 105 and -20 in the same year either.  I remember a year in Lincoln going from -26 to 100+ in about 5 mos.  Its really those days that drop 40+ degrees within minutes that the Plains can experience which is just a marvel.  I believe Montana has the biggest 24 hr swing on record thanks to Chinook winds, going from -52  to 49.

Well ISU is definitely not "down here."  It's something like 2.5x further from Ames to Austin, as it is from Ames to Chicago...

But your point is well taken on Kansas.  They for sure have to shut down that polar arctic zone during the winter.  Unless of course it's one of those extreme Kansas winter days where it hits 120F.

Pretty good (and even handed) SI article on the issues and decision making of the various conferences and the NCAA.

Experts?  Pffft.  What do THEY know?!?  It's not like they took an oath or anything.
