I think it's more along the lines that as long as there aren't deaths, it's "working".

Err, as long as there aren't deaths to starters, I mean.

Err, as long as there aren't deaths to starters on P5 teams.

Err, as long as there aren't deaths to first-round lock starters on CFP-caliber teams.

Yeah, that last one. As long as there isn't that, nobody cares and they'll play football.
I really appreciate the “everyone is heartless except me” vibe.

Who said "except me"? 

I enjoyed watching CFB and the NFL this weekend. I like watching it. If they decide to play, I'm not going to boycott and turn off my TV out of concern for the players. In fact, part of my difficulty getting into CFB right now is because my own team is not playing. 

I think this may blow up in everyone's face, but I'm still watching for as long as it lasts.

Well, watching it and enjoying it doesn’t make you or I uncaring monsters.  And if a walk on dies I’m sure we will all be saddened and would fully understand if schools started shutting it down.

Do I have selfish reasons for wanting a season? Absolutely, but I also want it for the players and coaches who put a lot of time and effort into this.

I feel bad for the kids in my county who have now had their first 3 games of the season canceled and more may be coming.  If my senior season had been canceled I would have been heartbroken.

Sounds  like the Nebraska President and Wisconsin Chancellor were on different calls.

Look like we are going to have a season

BREAKING SPORTS NEWS...from the MY 92-9 MidOhjo Newsroom. WLNS-TV in Lansing Michigan and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are reporting that presidents and chancellors of the Big Ten Conference have approved plans to restart the 2020 football season. David Hookstead, who covers Wisconsin sports for The Daily Caller, reports the vote of the 14 conference CEOs "passed with ease." He did not say what the results were, or when or if the vote would be made public. Hookstead alao reports that Ohio State and Penn State released videos "indicating an official announcement is imminent." WLNS reports that practice would begin in the next 2 weeks in advance of "a mid October start." Whether fans will be allowed to attend games isn't clear at this point.

A mid-October start would give plenty of time to see what's happening to other programs that have allowed fans in the stands.

If they're smart, the B1G athletic departments will PLAN on having at least some fans, make preparations for it, and then pull the plug at the last second if it seems like it's not working out elsewhere.

You know, the exact same thing they could have done regarding having a football season in general, but instead decided to pull the plug on August 13th...

That has got to be the shoddiest piece of second-hand reporting I've ever laid eyes on. 

That said, I'm excited for some football.
