The decision was to DELAY the season, right?

National Champion BYU.

Also what if everything gets canceled after two weeks and UAB is 2-0 with a win over Miami?
Are they playing Michigan in the Holiday Bowl?

No.  I don’t realize that.  There is much conflicting Input about that.  In fact I doubt there was ever a vote
2) Another report coming from OSU saying the presidents never voted to cancel the season, just opinions were given, and that this Warren is spearheading the shut down mostly on his own.

4) Warren can't get his own kid to step down.

This is just really offensive. If he was so concerned about it, he would have his son opt out without penalty.

He is just an SEC sleeper cell.
Man this looks like a concerted effort by the Universities to throw Kevin Warren under the bus because of their own decision--that they regret now that their boosters and fans are in revolt. 

I don't for a second believe that this was all a plot by Warren to cancel fall sports overruling 14 University President's wishes, ramming it down their throats. But now that they have buyer's remorse on their own decision, they need a fall guy.

If schools are going to be in a remote learning situation, it makes a bubble for sports a lot more doable.  Could you put OSU, UM, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Penn State in a bubble in Indianapolis and have a season?

Where is Minnesota in all of this? All the goodwill and momentum they built from last season and the only thing I here about Minnesota is that it's where the Big Ten Commish is hiding out. If they're content to sit this one out we've gotten enough of that out here in the Pac 12.

PJ Barnum has strong opinions and loves to talk

where is he hiding, or did his handlers muzzle him?

Snook deleted or restricted access to his post for some reason. Weird.

In one of the early pressers after camp was supposed to start, Fleck stated that everyone on the team, to a man, agreed with the decision to postpone.

His job is to be the fall guy, and he is paid handsomely to be the fall guy, so why shouldn't he be the guy that takes the fall?

Fine, so bow out.

Don't bring everyone else down with you.

If the kids want to play, and their parents want them to play, and their coaches want to coach...

That's a fair point. 

I just think the story being built up around his fall is BS.

They aren't doing him many favors in how inconsistent they are being. Though also, it's still very early in the process and too early for final judgments.

If liability could be alleviated, that would do it, except for school Presidents and the ADs (who probably want to play $$$$).

The lingering issues would be generating a schedule and then managing IF some team comes down with it.
