That would be consistent with Alabama's schoolwide policy, unless something has changed in the past 2-3 days.
And consistent with Alabama's state-wide policy of ignoring science.

Statewide?  Everyone in the state?  Or just policy makers, every one of them?

What does postponing mean exactly?  The SEC postponed their season also.

Clearly the poster most in tune with "science" is the guy that goes to football games in a bright orange clown wig, clown shoes, a clown nose, and clown face paint.

The article was confirmation of the worst kept secret in the Big Ten. OSU, Neb, and Iowa where the 3 schools that voted against cancelling the fall season.

The other 11, voted to character assassinate Kevin Warren. It's old news, brought to light, and confirming the 11 schools that voted to move the season to spring.

Hopefully those three schools absolutely annihilate the other 11, if and when they ever play each other again.

I thought the conspiracy theory was that there was never a vote at all; it was just Warren making the decision over 14 weak-willed and completely incompetent university presidents who clearly couldn't compete in a discussion with a dumb jock.

Correct.  This kills that theory.

That theory was fun. Deeply silly and not so believable, but fun.

Well... We can still hang our hats that Warren brought the outdated, elderly demographic, research stating the players hearts would explode; thus directing the weak-willed vote his way. 😈

Actually... I just figured it out.

It seems a lot of Buckeyes were pushing the theory that it was all Warren's fault. But coincidentally, that was when we thought that the vote was 12-2 and the only ones voting to keep the season were Nebraska and Iowa.

So when they thought it was their own President that voted to cancel/postpone the season, then the vote must not have taken place and it was all Warren's fault. 

Now that it comes out it was 11-3 and OSU voted to keep the season, they no longer need to blame Warren--they can blame the rest of the B1G for ruining their chance at the CFP. Warren's off the hook not because of anything he did [or didn't do], but because now they don't have to blame their own President for going against them.
