Do you have a link to any reputable reports of the governor interfering with Michigan and Michigan State football? All I remember seeing is stuff from fan sites and twitter eggs.
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"

Go Gators!
Apparently the Big Ten waited until this morning so that the Nebraska "hot mic" moment wouldn't be quite right. But sounds like they're back now.
They're baaaaack! https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...october-return
no, that was several weeks ago. To be clear, it was not a message board site, it was an article or tweet from a journalist that claimed a source confirmed she was in contact with both and either encouraged or supported their decision not to play. I am not understanding why anyone would have doubts? I get if you want to take the position that I am not going to believe or not believe unnamed sources, but having doubts when it fits into everything she has did and said in recent weeks is something I do not understand. She would not allow high schools to play football while allowing other sports, and only gave in recently when it became clear it was a losing issue at the ballot box. She is clearly on the record stating she was "glad" the Big10 took the position to cancel football....and I know of no other Governor that went on the record suggesting they were pleased about the decision. Can I guarantee you that she was involved...no. If there was one Governor in the entire country that would most likely be involved in cancelling football and illogical restrictions based on their actions in recent months....it is her.

Sucks for PAC12...they really will have no reason to play later in the year now. I saw USC players were begging Newsom to loosen restrictions allowing them to play, but I do not see it happening anytime soon. Even if Newsom allowed them to practice/play...they would need Washington and Oregon Governors to allow, and they have their hands full with the fires right now.

Michigan has the second-lowest seven-day positivity rate of the Big 10 states (2.9%, Wisconsin is highest at 14.6%). I don't follow the state of Michigan close enough, but I'm guessing their response might not have been perfect but it's looking pretty good.

Oregon has been in the 4's, 5's and 6's for quite a while now.

Governor made an exemption for the Ducks and Beavers.

Wade and Davis have been opted back in and will play this season.
Of course they did because they are ballers. If you love the game, care for your teammates, and do not have any health issues that would increase your level of vulnerability.....you are going to run through that tunnel with your guys to take the field on game day.

PAC12 should forever be known as a subsidiary of the Big10....or the Big10's little b@#$%. Nearly zero discussion of football....the Big10 announces they are playing, and suddenly the PAC12 views the world completely different.

Not a great slate of games today with the Big12 out and the SEC & Big10 yet to begin. A few decent games....
- UCF (-7.5) over Georgia Tech...and covers the 7.5 point spread.
- Marshall upsets App State (-5.5)
- Miami over Louisville (-2.5)
- Do not expect Notre Dame to cover the 23.5 points against USF
