while the dolphins swim in the sea

 You're going grey, my baby

Still the war is waging endlessly

Day after day, day after day  ( c. Hynde /pretenders)

i'm growing tired pointing out the hypocrisy of this world....but this one is too rich to ignore.

the Big-10 football conference jumped on the woke wagon and smugly cancelled ALL fall sports until maybe the spring. the threat of Coronavirus and the SAFETY of their Student Bodies was most important. the Pac 10 followed immediately with a hold-my-beer statement of their own.

SEC and ACC did not cancel their fall sports.

Suddenly the big-10 football players started stating that they would NOT play in the spring because it was too close to the NFL draft , and they started asking to be released from their commitments so that they could transfer to a school that WAS playing in the fall. Suddenly a big-10 spring season was starting to resemble a JV game with all the best players and seniors opting out.....certainly ABC/ESPN/FOX  saw diminished ratings and wanted a discount........so the Big-10 began having discussions about a January start......and yesterday they floated a Thanksgiving start..........now this one intrigued me.......because most of the colleges started the fall semester a few weeks early in the hopes of wrapping up and shutting down for the winter at ....THANKSGIVING.............so i'm left to wonder.....will rutgers and the other schools open the dorms for the athletes only ? ( while the rest of the school is on winter break) will the football programs be housed in Hotels for the season ?

lost of questions to be answered......most notably.....what has changed since the big announcement that the season was being pushed to the spring ? did Fauci say it's now safe to go back to school ? did the scientists change their minds ? are all students and ALL sports being reinstated ? 

here is a quote from Barry Alvarez

"It may be a little earlier, but around January," Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez, a leading member of the return to play task force, told ESPN earlier this week. "We may try to start earlier. We're talking to all of the TV people, trying to get all of the information and see what fits. We still have to go through our chancellors and presidents to OK it."

not so much as a fake concern about the health of the players and staff and other students.....let's just talk to all of the TV people.
