I thought you were doing a bit with the CC line, but it turns out UAA was a CC until '71. And there wasn't even a college in Anchorage until 1954. I mean, it was just out of the territory days, but you'd think by 1960 when Anchorage was already triple the size of Fairbanks it wouldn't take another ten years to get a four year school there.

Oh it gets worse, way worse.

The original Anchorage Community College didn’t have a campus, they did night classes at the High School. The UAA campus wasn’t built until 1970 and UAA didn’t have on campus housing until 1986 and really didn’t have dorms until the mid-90’s.

The best one lately is that the College of Education lost its accreditation and now UAA can’t train teachers. Yes the University in the largest city, in the largest school district, with the second largest school district in its area, cannot train teachers. They have to go to UAF. And it was intentional by the UA, they knew UAA would be at risk but still went through the process so they could learn what needed to be fixed at UAF.

And yes a Chancellor at UAA was forced out because she questioned funding priorities in the UA system. One of the things she was fighting for was a new athletic building including an ice arena, naturally it was built after she left without an ice arena.

Some clowns tried floating a rumor that Nebraska, Michigan, MSU, Iowa and Wisconsin were going to go rogue under the leadership of tOSU and play a home and home schedule. The games would not count in the Big Ten standings and there would be no actual champion as the BTCG would not be played. Somehow people bought this...

The Clay Travis' of the world (leader of the "The Media is Out to Destroy College Football and Takes Joy in It) didnt seem to realize that the Big Ten would never sanction those games which means they would not and could not be shown on BTN. Since they will make no money off of fans in the stands that means they would be putting their players and coaches at risk for literally $0. In theory BTN and the Big Ten could blackball them from other networks as well. (since they own the broadcast rights)

Needless to say...the rumor didnt last long.

lol, I literally don't see Michigan joining that group. I don't know how it played out, but I'd like to think it went like this. The football coaches started this idea themselves and floated it. Maybe the ADs. Eventually made it to social media and some president got word. President called the coach and said, "Any more of this nonsense and you'll be sorting through COBRA tomorrow."

Athletics think they run the college world. They just don't. Michigan's AD budget is $184 million out of a total of $9.7 billion. A whole 2% of the budget. That's like say HUD runs the federal government. L.O.L. $1.7 billion in revenue comes from tuition. Imagine not having a safe place for students and putting that tuition base in jeopardy. A 10% drop in tuition covers any potential athletics revenue.

Nebraska, Iowa, and MSU, sure. No one expects much out of them anyways. Wisconsin is in a pretty derpy state and have had their state funding gutted, so who knows. OSU is in a similar place as Michigan.

Michigan State isn’t in that group, it was Penn State. Not that it really matters because there was zero chance of it happening. MSU’s President is an infectious disease doctor and as far as I know no one in the athletic department ever came out with any statement like Fitzgerald, Harbaugh, Day, Gene Smith, or Frost did attempting to pressure the Big Ten one way or the other.

Now Nebraska parents are threatening to sue the Big Ten. This after Iowa parents “firmly rejected” Warren’s release yesterday.

Glad to hear MSU has someone smart at top. I should have guessed that PSU cult was in on that. If Khaki Jim didn’t start this, I’m sure it started at the altar of Paterno.

Iowa is going to give Nebraska a run for their money as the dumbest in the big ten by at least a standard deviation or ten.

The Big Ten is apparently going to release a schedule that starts in January...not sure why it will never happen.

I wonder whether the lawyers told them to do this so they would be ordered by the states not to play, so they can then steal somebody's money. If they did the right thing and canceled the season then it would be their decision and they would have to refund.

These athletic departments, and their schools, are such scum I would not be at all surprised.
 
The schools will refund no matter what. Might take a bit of cajoling but they will.

And any parents that sue the Big Ten can bite me.
 
Trolls on Twitter are having fun with the college football die hards. One clown posted he had an "AD as a source" and guaranteed 4 days ago that the Big Ten was looking to play and he was guaranteeing they would announce they would. Even now, after the Big Ten said it wasnt happening he is doubling down (in full troll "Give Me My 15 Minutes of Fame" mode) and people are backing him saying they believe him. The guy is wrong more than Q but people are saying he knows!! The gullible and desperate will believe anything.

Of course all these people think Kevin Warren is the reason there is no football and think that the athletic budgets control the schools. Must be SEC and UNC fans if they think crap like that. Even Nebraska told their AD to pound sand.

The best though is that these same losers have media types who clickbait them to high heaven. For example a clickbaiter said "there never was a vote to cancel so obviously Warren made the decision himself!!" which spread for a bit. Made it to another site I go to and after a few minutes someone found a quote from the President of Minnesota who basically said there was no formal vote all the Presidents discussed it and agreed this was the right course of action. Clickbaiters ignore it and keep pushing the narrative because they know the average rube will believe anything they say. Hell some still push the "tOSU and Others Are Going Rogue" deal because people just would rather not think.
 
tOSU is who is behind most of the crap you read. Their fans and AD are clowns. Their president however isnt and shut it all down. (see also: Nebraska where the "N" stands for Nowledge) Michigan, MSU, Wisconsin, Minnesota and most of the rest want nothing to do with any of this.
 
NC State

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – N.C. State University is moving all undergraduate classes online following an increase in COVID-19 cases among students in the last several days, Chancellor Randy Woodson announced Thursday.

“We have also recently witnessed the negative impacts caused by those who did not take personal responsibility. We’ve had reports of large parties in off-campus apartments. In the last two days alone, we’ve identified three COVID-19 clusters in off-campus and Greek Village houses that can be traced to parties and behavior outside of our community standards and the governor’s mandates,” Woodson said.

The change for undergraduate classes takes effect Aug. 24.

Graduate courses and clinical education may continue to meet in-person or in a hybrid format. NC State’s research laboratories will remain open and fully operational, and research opportunities for students will continue.

“As of today, through our aggressive contact tracing program we have more than 500 students in quarantine and isolation, mostly off campus, who have either tested positive or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive,” Woodson said. “We are also investigating other potential off-campus clusters.”

Who would have thought that college kids would act like college kids and not responsible adults?
 
Vanderbilt halted football activities after "an undisclosed number of players" are Covid-19 positive. I wonder of one of the traditional powers of the SEC would do the same thing one of the traditional doormats did. My guess is no. Does the SEC even have any kind of a league wide protocol for testing and tracing? Sadly I am guessing that even if a number of players come down with particularly nasty cases of Covid-19 it won't change many minds down there. So since I like watching college football as much as the next guy, I say I hope they continue to practice and I hope they play. If someone gets sick or dies, that is a small price to pay. I get entertained, and that is one less stupid person to procreate. Win-win.

The real clickbait is that the troll is right- the B1G will play football. Maybe next spring, maybe next fall, maybe 2022. But they will, in fact, play football.

Unless he really thinks that there will be B1G FB this fall.... Which is kind of insane.

Its the latter. He is saying the Big Ten will be playing in a couple of weeks...and they buy it!
 
8 nebraska players (really their parents, but they're smart enough to sue in their kids' name) sue the Big Ten.

The attorney is a rube who owns a mini media empire in the state and was formerly in the state legislature. He's clearly in it for the publicity.

They will lose, and lose hard.

Seriously...can we just kick them out already. They never belonged and now they are just being giant pains in the butt.
 
It's amazing how disingenuous guys like Clay Travis are. He wrote an article about how Warren only canceled to try to get Biden elected. His citation was a Yahoo article titled "Can the Big Ten sway an election? Kevin Warren wants to find out." Except he didn't really cite it, he just embedded one of his own tweets that included a screenshot of the title of the article. A search of the article finds that Warren was just setting up racial and equality coalitions among athletes in the conference as well as a push to register all 10,000 athletes at the schools to vote.
 
I knew Clay Travis sucked (I tried listening once and it hurt my ears) but good lord he is a loonbat.
