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

It could easily be argued that Jamain Stephens Jr. would still be alive if he were playing football.
Perhaps the university should be held accountable for the decision?

Good luck arguing that one in court, counselor. 

Yep, and the main reason why they decided not to play, imo. If a school is playing and a player dies it will automatically be assumed he caught it and died as a result of playing football, and then someone will be held responsible for his death.

Not proven responsible, but it would be a thing.

Could be argued, but the beauty of counterfactuals is they have no real answers. Maybe if he played he would've been hit by a bus.

Some would. And people would read that because we read things that generate strong emotions.

Fox and others even further right are the only ones that wouldn't run with that story.

I mean, many would say "A college football player has died in the care of the university." The group out there shrieking that it's the team's responsibility would likely be smaller, but it takes a smaller group in an extremely large media sphere to draw attention.

Of course, the Fox, the most watched voice in cable news, and beyond would be running their version of the story, "Can you believe anyone is blaming FOOTBALL for this?!?!" And it would get weird because you have that corner of things is backing universities, which are usually targets for ridicule, and around and around it all goes.

NU system president Ted Carter tells KLIN radio that the Big Ten Return to Competition Task Force is “putting together some plans that the presidents and chancellors will vote on very soon.”

The Big Ten is at an advantage if it defers decision-making for 3-weeks, as it will have the opportunity to see how the coronavirus spreads and affects the guinea pig schools that are playing and testing regularly.

We can't learn much information from high schools that do not have funded and regular testing protocols.

Heh, and here I guessed they would "return to business" about a week before the SEC has to shut down, but I'm an optimist.

Postpone is a variable vague term.

I now think the SEC et.al will play their first game as scheduled.  After that, I would guess the odds of playing the next game drop by 10% a week, or so.
