Anyway, we can speculate on this all day and just spin our wheels on this. I do feel like somehow the season will be played and this will all be moot. But, interesting to think about in a down moment. I too feel that a truncated season will be attempted. Although, I could see it end aka the NBA season did when Rudy Gobert did his poorly-conceived comedy act and got SARS-CoV-2. NO ONE knows how the NCAA and conferences will react to a positive Covid test. I would not be fully shocked if this upcoming season is halted sometime!

breath- That assumes a school doesn't issue a blanket, "Thank you for your service" policy and move forward. Loberg, Hilley, Barnes and Rettke do have redshirts available. If the school allows them to use them. I think Alvarez's instinct would be cut them loose as he did in spring. My point is that such a policy would not address this coming year's fiscal problem. The redshirts for fall sports affect the next year's budget. In contrast, the spring redshirts/extensions would affect this year's, which we know is crap. Most schools are trying to absorb most of the costs in this fiscal year, due to longer term revenue projections. That's why you are seeing steep furloughs and salary cuts right now rather than spread out. Also, many state schools don't have large endowments and still get generous state funding. Most states are constitutionally obligated to balance state budgets because they can't print their own money. That's why the feds are important to all but a few -- Texas, Michigan come to mind. Northwestern as well. It's exteremely hard to predict what will happen, but I honestly think there is a very good chance that they will try to run a season, and fail. There is no coordinated plan across the states encompassed by the B1G. It looks like the virus will persist into the fall at background levels at very least. The chances of a flare up somewhere seem really high to me right now. Will they be able to adjust? What if that flare up is at PSU, or Minneapolis, or Lincoln, or Madison. What if players test positive that were just at a match with another school? What does the B1G do? What does the NCAA do? I guess it depends on whether they think there should be fans or not and the degree to which they can keep the teams and coaches isolated.

Really cool to see 12 of 14 Big Ten schools volleyball programs’ social media (Instagram) getting involved in something bigger than volleyball and in support of black students, black student athletes, and fellow Americans.
And yea, that was shade. And yea, that was like a run on sentence.

Word on the street, schedules have gone out for all Big teams I think they rejected my own proposal of “play your travel partner 20 times”. Penn State didn’t think it was a bad idea. Minnesota thought it was terrible.

Well that is an interesting thought. So how many times would NE defeat IA if they played 20 times? How split would MN and WI be?

Wagers on how long before we start seeing schedules released then (even if they just release conference)?

Seeing Nebraska back at Devaney. Are they the first in the gym? Anyone else reporting yet? I have not seen anything out of Wisconsin relating to actual work in the Field House. But, Wisconsin's football and volleyball teams are back on campus for "voluntary" activities. This week is health assessments and COVID testing. Next week they begin strength and conditioning.
