MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL, ACC, SEC, IHSAA vs. The Big Hens

[Born Boiler]

Virtually everyone else is playing games in every major sport, but only the Big Ten is worried about the futures of its athletes?

Mitch Daniels is cited all summer as a national leader for returning to classrooms, yet he suddenly votes against having his own football players take the field?

The Big Ten announces a revised schedule, then turns tail and quits six days later, throwing teams from their training tables back into the full student populations?

Meanwhile, Indiana high school football has played without significant issues halfway through its regular season?

Meanwhile, playing in another major collegiate conference is the son of the Big Ten commissioner, whose own legal alma mater suddenly has the entire Midwest to itself while playing on its own national network and bringing home its bacon?

Something smells worse than a 1960s locker room.

Time to investigate the Warren Commission and the headless chickens in charge.

I suspect Mitch is lying in the weeds, waiting!

Mitch is not a Trump republican

Not sure what that is (or means), but Mitch is definitely not a deep state / establishment type of politician.

This wasn’t about Mitch, not beyond the no-vote he was alleged to have made that contradicted his stated and nationally recognized policies for handling the pandemic.

This was about the bad decision and inept leadership shown by a conference that used to be at the nation’s forefront but now is documented as a follower, lagging far behind every major sports venture in the U.S. in handling the pandemic.

All major sports were competing while the Big Ten would only watch.

It stunk, smelling a lot like that quack factory down south, anxious to kick the bucket on the whole season to avoid giving back the bucket at its end.

But we also have a new commissioner from outside the league who announced the decision, refused to address questions, drew lawsuits, declared there would be no reconsideration, failed to address questions again, then announced the reversal.

Meanwhile everyone of consequence plays on, but the Big Ten won’t even start until fall is more than a month old.

Pathetic.

Alleged!! what makes you think he didn't vote against playing? I know, No way in the world a true Republican would vote No.

Just stop.

"Republican" has nothing to do with it.

I think Mitch stated his stance pretty openly. He didn't agree with the vote 'no' to playing but because he and other Presidents wanted a unified voice to make their stance strong....he voted 'No.' Hard to argue with his logic there and pretty easy to get to that conclusion if everyone stops trying to make everything political.
