Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

The point is there will always be something.  You can poo-poo all the reality you want, but 20 year olds and bubbles aren't compatible. 

This experiment - and that's what it is - is a failure before it even begins.  I'll hang up and listen.

So students of that age are going to catch it whether they play football or not? 

All the more reason not to cancel. 

Google "athletes that died from influenza"

There are a lot of them. 

University of Michigan cardiologist Dr. Venk Murthy is questioning data used by the Big Ten to cancel its fall sports season. “It could be reasonable to cancel, just not on the basis of this paper which is highlighted extensively,” Murthy, professor of Preventive Cardiology at The UM Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center, tweeted in reference to a paper being relied upon by the Big Ten. Murthy and Darrel Francis, Professor of Cardiology at the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College in London have laid out why the Big Ten shouldn’t be using the flawed paper as basis for cancellation.

“If we as a profession are happy to retweet gibberish, we can’t blame universities, sports associations and governments for talking nonsense,” Francis said about the paper in question.

Murthy concludes the paper being used by the Big Ten shouldn’t have been used. “Bad statistics and lots of moderate to severe effusions, LGE, etc in their controls means to me it is a paper that we should put little stock in this paper, regardless,” he wrote on Twitter.

Professor Francis agrees: “Yes, I do think we should disregard it for now. The lead author did message me after my thread. I recommended they temporarily retract it pending changes, because otherwise it would keep misleading people.”

Earlier this week, Outkick’s Dr. David Chao addressed the myocarditis study divide between the Big Ten and the SEC.

For B10 fans to side with the SEC experts over their B10 experts....that's ideology and/or politics.

That's all I'm going to say.

Translation:   I am right and if you disagree you are being political.

Why do fans of Big Ten schools have to be in lock step with every decision made by the conference? You aren’t.
