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

I think "we" were pretty pessimistic back in June/July, most of us, for good reason, so what we appear to have now is better than expected (so far).

I still think I'd prefer a real season in the spring, to whatever this is, which I'm struggling to care about, with no Big Ten.

there was never going to be a real season in the spring

6 or 7 games maybe - that's not real

If everyone was playing, even all conference games, I could get more on board with this.  We have dinner with friends tomorrow, the fact that there are some random ACC games does nothing to move the needle for me.  College football is my favorite sport for so many reasons that don't have to do with watching football.  Without those things, meh, I'll probably watch MLB and some NFL on Sunday

Yeah....but no football at all would be better than having it for 3 weeks and then having the resulting fallout from what would cause it to stop.

But I hope that doesn't happen.

Agree on both counts.  If we stop after a handful of games, I'd rather have not started at all.

And I too hope it doesn't come to that.

The Big 12 Conference today announced an antigen testing partnership with Virtual Care for Families. Big 12 football programs will utilize Virtual Care for Families to facilitate COVID-19 day-prior-to-competition testing for players, coaches and support personnel. The testing program will utilize Quidel Rapid Antigen tests which allows for 15-minute results and batch testing capabilities.

“Partnering with Virtual Care for Families provides a turn-key solution to antigen testing and ensures consistent, Conference-wide protocols,” said Big 12 Executive Associate Commissioner Edward Stewart.

“We are excited to partner with the Big 12 on this testing program," commented Virtual Care for Families CEO Brian White, "and applaud the Conference in taking this important step to bring back college sports while staying supremely focused on the health and safety of its student-athletes.”

As part of its testing protocols Big 12 football programs are required to test for COVID-19 three times per week, with each program facilitating providers for the additional weekly tests.

Add the Nebraska attorney general to the list of those seeking transparency from the Big Ten Conference.

The office of Doug Peterson on Friday issued a letter to the Big Ten notifying commissioner Kevin Warren that the conference appears to be out of compliance with the Nebraska Nonprofit Corporation Act. According to a news release from Peterson's office, the attorney general is responsible for overseeing compliance with the act by nonprofits operating in the state.

Peterson has instructed Big Ten officials to provide documents and records to determine if they've operated in compliance with Nebraska law and their own governing documents.

exactly, I would hope that the number of cases would be more than 3 or 4 starters such as the QB that may cause a lack of performance.

If the 3rd string QB is ready to go, play the dern game

I'd be more concerned with it wiping out a whole OL or DL room.  If you are just sliding 18 year olds or other position guys into the trenches, you are putting a lot of people at injury risk.

While the skill positions would certainly hurt your chances, it's not a safety issue.
