B1G TEN in the Dome?

['70 Grad]

With the B1G TEN back to playing LATE Fall football, do you think there is any chance that a November/December game will utilize the UNI-Dome? Especially if few/no fans are allowed. Hawkeyes, obviously. Didn't look up to see if Nebraska or Minnesota are closer to the Dakota Dome or not? A matter of price?

Have we have shut down our players until Spring? Let's play Iowa at home!

At this point the Valley might as well play. Work the schedule so the dome teams play most of their home games late.

There's not a chance in hell that happens lol, regardless of who's playing and when.

You’d still have to pay $ for aggressive testing of all involved, multiple days a week. The MVC doesn’t have that.

Why? High schools don’t test.

What changes by spring? Are you assuming a virus is found and distributed to everybody by spring?

there are going to be different rules for the power schools, the rest of DI, DII, DIII, and junior college. Otherwise some of these places might just as well hurry up and declare bankruptcy.

DIII schools will not survive without sports. Central college i think has over 1/2 the student body playing a sport. No way they all go there without athletics.

I'm in agreement at this point. You might as well play now. Not a spring football fan.

it isn't like they can really transfer someone else to play sports. What are they going to do, drop out of college just because they can't play sports this year?

Am I the only one who sees spring football as something that could be beneficial for the school and FCS? People love football, they'll absolutely love watching football in the spring. There's going to be a bunch of FCS games on national TV, and UNI will be on at least one, probably more. Especially if the NFL draft timing works out so that spring players can still play for their teams and not have to quit to worry about draft prep. I'm picturing highlights of top-25 UNI basketball and NDSU-UNI on the same episode of Sports Center. AJ drilling threes at 11:23 and a Trey Lance sack montage at 11:34. It's glorious.

What if there is no vaccine? Many will decide the high costs of it all isn’t worth it if they can’t play a sport. You think the 500+ kids at central college that play a sport would still go there?


warrburg is already worried. Offering a 5th year tuition free

I think it could be. My concern is they won’t actually play. I could see ESPN and others showing games.

If the only reason you're spending tens of thousands of dollars per semester to attend college is to play a sport, then you probably shouldn't be attending college in the first place.
Find a rec or semi-pro league somewhere, and you can play that sport for much much less.

I agree it doesn't make sense to pay $25k+ to go to a small private school to play a sport in college.

But a lot of kids do it. And if sports didn't exist a lot of the small privates in Iowa would take a big hit.

what's the math on how many lives are worth endangering just so that small private colleges have a better chance at being profitable?

[sivert]

Well, it’s not math. When does stubble become a beard?

What if more kids died driving to private colleges than do from Covid?

no Uni student would ever have died while a student if uni didn’t exist.

when does the what if game stop?
