Skull session: Big Ten Football could start as early as November, Braxton Miller joins the fight to save the season, and athletic directors are hopeful about basketball season


You’ve made it to Friday, which means you can definitely go through the bad part of Friday and into the very good part of Friday. I believe in you.

Word of the day: Largesse.

FOOTBALL FOR THANKSGIVING. It looks like we could see Big Fall football this fall after all – but very, very late fall.

With parent groups continuing to demand Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren to explain the reasons for the closure of the 2020 football season and eight Nebraska players filing a lawsuit in an attempt to reverse that decision, the football coaches of the league through to a customized schedule.

According to two university football sources familiar with the Big Ten, those talks have generated a new option.

The potential proposal has a Big Ten season of at least eight games, starting with Thanksgiving week.

The Journal Sentinel reported earlier this month that league officials were working on a plan to play an eight-game season in early January, with the games being played in indoor facilities.

So when this comes to fruition and Ohio State sits at 4-0 when the college football playoff selection committee makes its decision … Who says no?

Honestly, there is a non-zero chance that the Big Ten could convince the College Football Playoff to delay by about a month anyway, especially since it is highly unlikely that any other conference at this point will be smooth at the end of December. comes because we had already postponed several games yesterday and we have not even started playing yet.

That in principle, the title of the state of Ohio does not hope to be dead yet, they are just on life support.

BRAXTON WORKS THE FIGHT. The battle to save the season just won a new champion.

Braxton Miller just dropped a “CHARG1NG Against The BIG TEN” tee shirt to protest the conference’s decision to postpone the season, and he has a damn good reason why he thinks players should play.

“If I did not have the opportunity to play my 5th year after changing positions and the season was canceled .. I would not have experienced some of the best moments of my life. I had the opportunity to show that I could play wide receiver and be drafted. The way the B1G TEN conference handled the season’s proposal lacked transparency, communication and unprofessionalism. The student athletes worked too hard to take this away from them !! #WeWantToPlay ”

Of course, there are not many (one?) Quarterbacks who make the switch to wide receiver during their final year of accessibility after a devastating injury the year before, but there are plenty who can empathize with desperately wanting and that one last season – Jonathon Cooper and Justin Hilliard, for example.

If you are interested, you can donate the shirt here, and a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to the Inside Out Youth Organization.

OPTIMISM ABOUNDS. While we wait to see how football season takes shape this fall, it seems athletic directors across the country are unanimously optimistic about college basketball season.

Of 258 athletic directors surveyed, only 3.5 percent were unsure that we would see a basketball regular season and only 2.7 percent were unsure that we would see an NCAA tournament.

But they have different thoughts on what that season will look like.

Preferred schedule

As a sports fan and blogger, each of these options sounds just fine and dandy as long as you can provide me with an NCAA Tournament this time, please thank you.

WELCOME TO FATHERHOOD. It seems that the one true and good Michael Jordan joined the father ranks yesterday.

We wish for nothing but Health, Safety and Rimington Trophies for Kason.

BUY OTHER WESSON’S FABRIC. My new favorite niche website has a new Buckeye seller and I feel an obligation to share it with you all.

If you’re in the market for some new Buckeye equipment, do not think it’s softly worn by a four year old letter winner and happens to be a size XL, I have fantastic news – you can empty Andre Wesson’s closet for him .

This is the second Buckeye I’ve seen on this site since Marcus Baugh sold his stuff a few weeks ago, and I’ll stay there to inform you all if you have the opportunity to purchase a wash from a former player .

You have my word.
