OK, if they want to play that game and hang their hat on that as a reason to not start the season. Then how do you even start at Thanksgiving time ? What would change? Hell, how do you start at all this year until this thing is completely gone (Which it will never be completely gone). Oh and also, how do you tote around player safety when CTE has been on the scene since 2012 and you never took these extreme measures for safety.
My guess on how tomorrow's vote pans out for the B1G. Either the vote is much closer then it was before. Before was 11-3? Well I could see it being more like 8-6 tomorrow, still in favor of NO. Then the B1G can say they tried, but even after hearing everyone and relooking at it all, it's still in favor of a NO. With this the B1G hopes people just move on and look the other way about starting in Thanksgiving, and how suddenly that is so different then early October.
The other is the other way, 8-6, but in favor of playing early October. B1G changes course, aims to starting early October, but inevitably an "outbreak" will happen and numbers amongst a couple of the programs, looking at the "No" voting programs, will increase, causing great concern about being able to play safely and now the B1G has numbers and "proof" to show it is unsafe to play and will shut it down.
Either way, B1G isn't playing this Fall.
