The Big 10 deserves credit for making the right decision - A+. Football is not worth the risk of serious damage to the health of a single football player. Players can now focus on their studies.

How many incredibly fit 20 year olds have been laid low by Covid? ZERO.

They literally said that it wasn't related to health concerns so not sure what you're going on about

I believe this is all political to keep the economy down. Big 10 is about starting the season on November 4th!

It is political....now he wants all B10 athletes to be social justice warriors. How can he even bring this up as an athletic discussion? Talk about political. He needs to go NOW!

I don't think the BIG had all the information to make that decision alone. The country doesn't. The hospitals are not over run by covid patients and the death toll is better than the flue!

You are very forgiving by offering C or worse. I am not even sure an F would do justice. This is a one man hit show. It seems to me the commissioner is out to prove he is the boss and no one else.

F: Responsible leaders making a decision with so much social and economic impact have a duty to give the people they serve the reasons for that decision. The conference isn't a democracy, but ...

This fits into the politics of the day. No explanation just accept it and get in line. Stinks of politics.

This seems to be a "fly by the seat of your pants" decision made by an incompetent B10 commissioner. The worst part is that his son plays football in the SEC and is going to play. Hypocrite!

There was no transparency. Other conferences get to play which is an unfair advantage in recruiting. Covid survivor success rate is about 99.9% so quit living in fear. This is ruining peoples lives an

There is always risk. The risk of a football related injury, the same risks we mitigate every year, are far greater than the risks for which they claim to have postponed the season. COWARDS!!

Right or wrong decision not the problem. The way it as handled big problem/ no transparency, explanation or attempt to rectify the handling.

Just deplorable, living outside Nebraska I get the opportunity to listen to other sports talk radio shows blast the B1G and their decision making process.

Sounds like the commissioner is a big time Democrat and listens to CNN. Replace him now!

A 10 game schedule one week, cancellation the next. No presentation of factual information to support their vote and no presentation of the actual vote. Poorly executed by a "prestigious" conference

Probably a D+. The plus is for allowing Frost to speak his mind.

No transparency, no details, the Presidents of the Universities are not coming together on an actual vote. I would say if you can't get 75% of the schools to agree, there is a problem.

No matter how bad it looks, Dannen has to do what's necessary to keep the athletic department in the black financially. That's the bottom line. He can't allow millions in revenue to be lost just to save face.

Live in Nashville and have been waiting for this game for years. TN canceled the first one for the VTech game in Bristol. We need to be playing more elite teams outside the big10. That was what the expanded playoffs were for, more best on best games. Now we look like the typical SEC team, weak.

Stadium Reno is a horrible excuse. It is cowardice....

It's not cowardice. Dannen only recently was given the numbers on when and how much the South Stadium renovation would cost. He made this move to add an 8th home game to keep the athletic dept from losing millions of $$.

It definitely seems very cowardly, very disappointed.

Not all fans live in Big 10 country, and this was the one game on a future schedule that was within driving distance for me. Not to mention the Smoky Mountains would've been a great travel destination for our fans. The "stadium remodel" excuse seems like a cop-out.

Unfortunately, that January slide might be a bit too much to overcome. I hope they prove me wrong.

With their record, they'll be lucky to sneak into the tourney. NIT seems more likely.

No great BIG teams this year so they sneak in, get a 9 or 10 seed, and continue their perfect record in the Big Dance :).
