Baseball Ball Dad is always who I look to during difficult times.

The article is also a sad but true testament to state of our country and all the idiots out there who can't dare be inconvenienced and the politicians who cater to them. If you want your kids in school, if you want your daughter to have a wedding, you want to enjoy football and basketball then take the next month and wear a mask, keep your distance, and don't crowd into bars, restaurants, church services whatever. As the article said, had we done this and stuck with it, we wouldn't be in this mess now. You don't learn anything from the second kick of the mule.

Thet are also missing out on other P5 games.

I think these schools were expecting this. We always have Youngstown State/

I'm only giving an opinion. I have no idea how this will play out. But Ball State, CMU, and BG each had two Big Ten games. There's like $4mill off the table.

They aren't going to take the team down to South Carolina in this situation. I think a conference only season is the best route to go if they can make it happen. The states in the MAC have things somewhat more under control.

If we in this community, state, and country all want to see college sports again before Fall 2021, we need to wear a mask, wash our hands, and not gather in crowded bars and restaurants, etc. It's really simple. The oppositional defiance from the absolutely ignorant amongst us is ruining life for all of us including these athletes (who also bear the burden as well of watching out for themselves and their teammates).

THINGS ARE TOUGH ALL OVER. (although some of these "sports" are clearly superfluous) Stanford University, which has one of the largest Division I sports programs in the country, is cutting 11 of its varsity sports after the 2020-21 season, citing a financial deficit that became significantly more problematic due to the coronavirus pandemic. "Stanford will discontinue 11 of our varsity sports programs at the conclusion of the 2020-21 academic year: men’s and women’s fencing, field hockey, lightweight rowing, men’s rowing, co-ed and women’s sailing, squash, synchronized swimming, men’s volleyball and wrestling," the university said in a statement, describing the decision as "heartbreaking." Stanford currently has 36 Division I varsity sports, double the national average. The institution explained that the size of its athletics program had created a financial strain in recent years.

Who's to say i haven't done that? Actually, during some tense moments when the Zips are down by 7 or 8 early in the second half I often remove myself to the bleachers.

I love the J.A.R.!!

DeWine is allowing contact sports under certain guidelines. It's going to be up to the athletes to look out for themselves, each other, and their families.

Yes. Police Unions have the same problem (and I don't mean politically or to take a side in the police situations), but they also are at times so blinded by loyalty and the desire to not ever give ground that they stay stupid things and hurt those whom they serve. However, the union members see someone fighting for them and often miss the nuance especially when it comes to their jobs, salaries, or benefits.

No limousines in Akron. This isnt about liberal v conservative. Union leaders are elected to see only one side and that's the union side and to oppose anything that hurts or takes something away from the union members. But 100% agree that the athletes are students as well and her attitude is condescending towards them. However, she's doing what is her job and that's to fight for her members. Its high stakes negotiations.

These guys can't catch a break. Some are probably living with parents and can't risk it. He'll even if they got a job in Europe they couldn't go.

considering, that Columbus and Franklin County is the hottest of the COVID hot spots this isn't surprising.

yes, it's all over the Beacon and the union president is painting athletics as the evil that must be destroyed. Because the Director of Family Studies is an expert in such matters. She has a position paper that will demonstrate how much $$ the U will save by moving to Division 2.

And we can all wear paper bags over our heads (dual purpose)

i think this is the perfect year for the Zips to catch everyone off guard and win the whole thing!

they could open to season ticket holders and everyone can spread out. limit concessions. there would be plenty of room. hell they could even spread the band out over the entire east side of the stadium.

What's your point? Can I not decide for myself what is "good news" to me?

9-3.

absolutely, Wake Forest is the fall back school for prep school kids who don't get into Ivy League or UNC, Duke, etc. Groce and Co. are going to offer him a supportive and solid environment to succeed.

Wake Forest suspends Sharone Wright, Michael Wynn vs. Pittsburgh Jan 3, 2020 Associated Press Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest sophomores Sharone Wright Jr. and Michael Wynn have been suspended for Saturday's game at Pittsburgh. The team announced the one-game suspensions Friday, saying they were for "failing to uphold the standards of Wake Forest Basketball." The school didn't elaborate on specifics in its statement. Wright is averaging 3.4 points while Wynn is averaging 1.3 points for the Demon Deacons (7-5, 0-2 ACC). It will be Wake Forest's first game since beating North Carolina A&T on Dec. 21.

Best news I've had in awhile. Thanks for finding and sharing.
