Experts?  Pffft.  What do THEY know?!?  It's not like they took an oath or anything.
All I got from that article was that there are experts on both sides of this, they don’t agree, and it’s highly politicized. So OFA which ones took an oath?   Let me guess the ones that you agree with LOL

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.
Yep.  And Montana is farther from the Great Lakes--which produce a minor version of ocean effects--than the Dakotas, so it would tend to have greater temperature extremes, all other factors being equal.

I don't know about Montana, but in Idaho the summers feel like an oven full of hair dryers, while they get buried beneath one blizzard after another all through the winter.

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

Very good, I think.
The key point: "In such a vast nation with differing cultural ideals and local policies, factors include regionalization and politicization. But one of the most pertinent answers to the question? Risk tolerance."

If it weren't for the mountain ranges between it and the Pacific Ocean, Idaho would have cooler summers and warmer winters.

This is the exact type of thing, that, would allow schools to open safely, and sports to kick back into gear.  Doesn't allow fans, and doesn't send life back to normal, but allows for controlled, non-bubble environments.

Was anyone on here affected by the derecho that hit the east coast back in the summer of 2012? My son was born in the aftermath of that. Friggin chaotic. His first night out of the hospital was in a Holiday Inn Express because we didn’t have power yet.

We were on the outer edge of it, we lost power, but it wasn't worse than a normal bad summer storm.

9 Sooners report with Covid.

This will need its own thread if conferences actually go through with this.  It'll be repetitive, sad, and unnecessary.
