The Daily Hoosier Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 A ninth game will match up the the East and West teams that finish in the same spots. Unfortunately they will try to avoid rematches, so IU vs. PU not likely to play twice. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/revised-iu-football-schedule-to-include-ninth-game-vs-west-team-that-finishes-in-same-spot/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Rose bowl as part of the playoffs it will be interesting to see what happens. I think there were 42 Bowls originally this year. So far only the Redbox Bow has been cancelled. Four Bowl games are tied to conferences that cancelled their seasons(MAC, MWC and PAC12). So they will have to figure out teams if they play them. Doing some math... If all 41 Bowls are played only 8 teams playing this season won't make a bowl. That's assuming a record lower than .500 is eligible. Go Hoosiers!!!

I like the idea. Personally though, I'm glad they are going to try to avoid rematches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euroclydon Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 B1G leadership didn't come up with this idea to go forward with a season. They just caved to the pressure of the players, coaches, and fans. They really thought the other major conferences would follow along and cancel everything and when that didn't happen they looked very weak. They could not justify shutting it down the rest of the year as others moved ahead and started playing. Keep in mind, people in leadership positions are not necessarily smart or good at what they do. Many of the hires at the top of the ladder at these universities are political and the reality is they don't make many of the big decisions. Instead, each institution, and the conference, have an army of lawyers who make the decisions. Why? Because it is all about limiting liability. The reason so many poor decisions are made, including the B1Gs original decisions to not have football games in 2020, is because the presidents and those in charge turn to the lawyers for everything. Understand, lawyers are not good managers. They are good at identifying how to avoid being blamed and avoiding lawsuit. Lawyers are not the best among us at running anything. Look at Washington and the political class made up of lawyers as a great example. They are not the brightest. They are not capable of viewing anything outside the prism of risk and litigation. Leadership is not a skill they naturally possess. Their only concern in this whole process was to keep B1G presidents and their institutions from being sued. Today's decision is proof.

Artesian_86 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 With games officially starting Oct 23/24th, I thought it would be interesting to look at the "previous" or most recent football schedule (just before the BIGTEN shut things down.....) Will it be very similar, minus the two games? If so, who which two schools will be taken out. Or,.....Do they put together a completely different schedule of teams? There would have been a bye after Ohio St. and one after Michigan St. Date Time At Opponent Location Tournament Result Sep 4 (Fri) TBA Away Wisconsin Madison, Wis. Postponed Sep 12 (Sat) TBA Home Penn State Bloomington, Ind. Postponed Sep 19 (Sat) TBA Home Illinois Bloomington, Ind.

Indykev Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Its time to open the games up to fans. 90% , just a guess, of students at IU have had covid already. IU has ripped these kids off for at least one semester, give them a game before they go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 The B1G has really put themselves in a corner. Not sure why they are waiting 6 weeks and then expecting everything to go smoothly playing 8 weeks in a row. Why not start a week or two sooner and build in a bye week or two so there can be some scheduling flexibility? I hope it all works out and that every team gets to play their full allotment of 8 games. From what has happened thus far, I highly doubt that the season is going to go off without some hiccups. Say Ohio State has a game or two canceled because their opponents have an outbreak. How could they get serious consideration by the selection committee as a 6-0 team when there could be teams that have played 3-4-5 more games? Glad the B1G is gonna be playing again, but I think the conference leadership leaves much to be desired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Now the next step is allowing fans. Wouldn't 35% capacity in an outdoor stadium be safer than a bunch of crowded bars? Seems like a no brainer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
