I’m sure I’ve had worse days but right now I can’t think of any

I wish I was this mature. On his 20th birthday too.

Very interesting. Will the necessary testing be in place by then is the question

I just can’t believe they dropped a full schedule last week to get everyone fired up and then a few days later cancelled the season even though nothing had changed. I’m having a hard time processing all this. One thing I will say is that there is no way tOSU leaves the B1G over this after a century-long relationship.

I think they felt they needed to put out a schedule but weren’t ready to make a final decision - even when that dropped, Warren made it sound like there might not be a season and every time gene smith has spoken over the last month or so he sounded very pessimistic. I kept brushing it off but the signs were there.

Fields reportedly close to signing with an agent, no surprise

The ripple effect - top recruits/early enrollees  opting out of their senior HS seasons . At this point Ohio HS football is still scheduled to continue

He’s actually the 5th osu recruit to do this but many of them had their seasons cancelled or pushed to spring when they would be gone

Lots of parent groups from different schools have sent this kind of letter. The deadline in the OSU letter suggests potential litigation.

Honestly if the ncaa would allow waivers this would not have happened. It’s all about liability and amateurism.

The NCAA is a mess. Maybe the P5 should take this opportunity to opt out and do their own thing. Full scholarships, academic support, life training support like “Real Life Wednesdays” at OSU, athletes can make money on their likeness, best of the best facilities and training, honest draft evaluations and consultation on when to leave early... just do what everyone wants to do at that level and stop pretending that the athletes are just like any other students.

And they refuse to actually “bubble” then because it would admit they aren’t students above all else, meanwhile they are essentially bubbled at the whac yet not allowed to say that. So over it

Exactly — just acknowledge what everyone already knows and wants and do it above board.

Snook is a credible former CFB reporter and book author and very plugged in at osu. He was all over the urban /Zach smith story a couple years ago. He wouldn’t put this out there if he didn’t have real sources. 
 

 

There is another guy, Sir Yacht, on Twitter who has been saying similar things for a week, but doesnt have the credibility yet. The snook stuff at least made made me sit up and have some hope. But the Nebraska pres and mark pantoni are both now following sir yacht on Twitter.

I was hoping to never again have to troll Facebook for breaking news every hour after... the last time...

Seriously. I’m depending on other people to stalk his FB and pull it over to twitter. Clay hall with channel 6 talked to snook and confirmed the report. Austin ward with lettermen row still thinks it’s not real. I suppose there is the Possibility that snook is being given false info by someone with tOSU. I just find it way too quiet on the B1G front right now. They haven’t commented on anything at all to the media in 8 days.

Right, and the vacuum created by the silence from the school and the league is why we have unaffiliated reporters like Sir Yacht and Snook (who may be perfectly credible; I don't know) stepping into the void with their sources and stirring up all kinds of drama and expectations.  Bill Rabinowitz had a promising report earlier this week, which is the most credible source yet as far as I can tell. 

 

I still can't believe Fields can go out like that -- apparently he doesn't either.

And with Day and gene smith rooting fields on with his campaign is telling. Fields was on good morning America this morning asking for transparency from the B1G. James Franklin basically lit Kevin Warren on fire in his media availability today. Apparently no one is aligned with the commissioner’s approach and lack of explanation. At least not the heavy hitters in the conference
