The Big Ten and PAC 12 pulled the plug yesterday and while the Big Ten was shutting it down, the Wolverines were practicing and plans to continue to do so for 20 hours a week through Fall Camp.
I have more questions then answers, like how the hell is Spring Football going to work and if we have seen the last of guys like Kwity, Nico, and Ambry? The NFL doesn't seem very flexible in moving the draft, so there is going to be little benefit from playing in the Spring if you're a high profile draft prospect.
I also think the SEC, Big 12, and ACC are going to try to make a go of a Fall Season. There has been a rumor floating around for many years that Nebraska has been looking a way out of the Big Ten as they have struggled for nearly 10 years. The issue is the Big Ten pays them $50M a year from the Big Ten TV contract and they like money. Nebraska might have found a natural breaking point as they want to play football in the Fall and the Big Ten commissioner has made it very clear, "not as a member of the Big Ten". Is it possible that Rutgers and Maryland also want to play football in the Fall?
Bob, if you were going to do Spring Ball how would you do it?
I would start in the winter, the earlier the better, maybe the first weekend of February or even January. Do a camp in December when kids aren't on campus anyway. Use the inside stadiums in Detroit, Minnesota, and Indy for games. Play 10 straight weeks and get the season in.
Is there any upside to this cancelation?
- Michigan will get more work in and be more prepared then they ever had for any season.
- We have probably seen the last of Justin Fields!
- Michigan will get more work for their new QB's
- 2021 Early Enrollees will at least get 10 weeks of practice they wouldn't have. Don't know if they will be eligible to play.

There is plenty of upside.... we will all save money and time and we can now put that towards our families.... we will not get crushed by Osu....we will not have to see a lousy kicking game.... Harbaugh does not get to coach games... give the whistle to your OC “coach” Harbaugh... and please leave with the president....we do not have to play games with no fans... and the largest of all, it’s another example of the Democratic Party’s embarrassing weakness! Do not give in to CNN NBC and other fake ass “news” sources! Vote Trump!
Man fire Harbaugh and Brown....why are they both here? Why....? please, someone explain...if we had a season it would be 8-5 anyways...I am glad they cancelled it and I don't have to go through the frustrations of losing big to OSU...76-8.....
This message board is becoming a haven for all the Debbie Downers and those who want to politicalize it. Let's learn to persevere.
Seems like a cowardly decision by an inexperienced commissioner.
