IU plays Purdue is delayed one week and they are our crossover game. Honestly, I'm disappointed because its one less game with a really fun team, but in all reality a bye week couldn't hurt at this point/we still get the chance to destroy Purdue/Play in a NY6 bowl. I’d go for that. A backdoor big ten champ would be great, but we lost to osu. It wouldn’t even be right. But under no circumstance do I think we should play osu again. It only helps osu and hurts the rest of the conference. And northwestern only has 1 loss and they get nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not Purdue’s “fault” besides they had people test positive. So has every other school at some point including IU I’m sure. Just sucks with conference implications and miss a rivalry game if so.

I’d argue you guys have more to lose than we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyHoosier22 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 If Indiana is dealing with COVID, it's clearly not something that is worrying since we're still holding practices. I have heard there's been a few kids who have had COVID throughout the season but they were confident it's contained, I wonder if Purdue is referring to situations like that where a few IU players picked up COVID but we're confident the spread is either contained or non-existent, while Purdue isn't.

No upside. Won't help OSU to beat IU twice. If IU wins, it will knock OSU out of top 4, but IU won't replace them. I just see them waiving the 6 game requirement instead, if necessary.
