Fletcher 857 Report post Posted September 16, 2020 2 hours ago, Wrestleknownothing said: good news for wrestling? I think so. Tough to re-start wrestling when a sport with very limited pad-on-pad is not allowed. If football is a go and it results in only limited outbreaks which are immediately controlled, it helps the argument that basketball and wrestling can also re-start with limited risk.

Then the whole country saw how all the players got together united to show they want to play. Players will have the option of opting out without losing a scholarship. This is not to say i agree/disagree with the decision, but just to say I'd be surprised if any successful lawsuits come from it. 1 Ohio Elite reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the schools are making the athletes sign statements they won't sue if they get COVID19. In my experience lawyers will come out of the woodwork from near and far to get money off something like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(confidential settlements are always on the table) Good point. Most class action lawsuits are settled out of court for "undisclosed" amounts. Could still end up being a pretty penny.

So will there be lawsuits against all the other conferences that decided to play too (before the Big Ten did)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PAFAN01 52 Report post Posted September 16, 2020 Many Covid cases in the student population. Don't see how they will prevent it among the football players. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could still end up being a pretty penny. A covid breakout may be likely - the only legal liability the Big Ten would incur is if they are not responsible in handling it. As long as they have prudent protocols in place to mitigate the effects of an outbreak, I don't see much legal risk. The odds of a healthy college athlete (without significant co-morbidity) dying from covid are astronomical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheerstress 143 Report post Posted September 16, 2020 It sounds like all the Big 10 schools got together and basically came up with a comprehensive plan for daily testing of all the student athletes, how to handle those who contract the virus, and how to minimize the spread during practices and competition. https://www.maizenbrew.com/2020/9/16/21439533/what-caused-the-big-ten-to-change-its-mind-on-playing-football-this-fall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheerstress 143 Report post Posted September 16, 2020 I'm sure potential lost $$ was a big factor in creating it. Hopefully wrestling and all the other sports can implement something similar so we can have a season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. I think the main concern is if there’s a second wave of deaths similar to what we saw early on. But no one really knows what will happen.

1032004 1,054 Report post Posted September 16, 2020 Just now, LJB said: there will not be... take that to the bank... that's coming from an expert... I hope you’re right and I am somewhat hopeful about that. Note I said second wave of deaths, so while there’s a chance there’s another wave of cases, it would also need to result in more deaths and it’s possible the virus has mutated and not as deadly as it was early on (unfortunately, the recent slowdown in deaths had made some claim it was never bad which I’m pretty confident is not true).

Swayz 126 Report post Posted September 17, 2020 USA today had a gal chine in that lost her marbles over this announcement. Calls it careless. As an athlete you still have the right to not compete during Covid. If a spoiled brat wines about no season and then gets season...they should have no recourse for lawsuit.

Why people would people be losing their marbles now about the B10 starting over a month from now, when there have literally already been FBS games played?
