    Big Ten Football is Saved! Empty Big Ten Football is Saved!

    Some dipshit from Daily Caller, probably a daily read for Kark, tweeted this...

    I’ve spent the past 188 days fighting to save Big 10 football. Today, we accomplished the mission.

    Much like the Osama Bin Laden raid or D-Day, you never know when your number will be called to serve. All you hope for is to execute your job and the mission.


    Fighting to "save" Big Ten football is on par with getting the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks or the invasion of Europe? Every day I hear and read more stupidity.

    All I know is, if I were an elite athlete and was assured a high draft place, there would be no way I'd play, for FREE and risk all that. ...

    I wonder how many B10 football players know they're going to be a high draft pick.  Maybe a few, but I assume most of them who are drafted highly have a pretty strong final college season.

    I think its' nice of the Big Ten to finally in public admit that all that really matters is being a minor league for the NFL. Not this silly education stuff.

    The lure of billions rises above the risk of morbidity/mortality.  I agree with Sharpy.  If I'm a top tiered player likely to be drafted by the NFL next April, I'm not playing Covid football for free.  I'm sure agents would be advising the players of this.
