Don’t shoot the messenger.
Now that I have that out of the way, we’ve got another update, maybe, to what’s going on with the Cloak and Dagger activities of commissioner Kevin Warren, the Big Ten, and the university presidents. There are a slew of reports about several balls being in the air at once, but nothing coming from the conference offices in the Chicagoland area.
So, we are left to trust the sources and reporting occurring with some very reputable people.
The latest comes from the Chicago Tribune’s Teddy Greenstein. According to him, there is not going to be a vote on the fate of Big Ten football this fall until this weekend at the earliest.
Or, so we think. I’m not sure even the folks that know what’s going on really know what’s happening at this point. The entire conference seems to be in a 14-way tug of war, all pulling in different directions.
Just learned re: timing of the B1G vote … will be this weekend “at the earliest” … Sun or Mon possible https://t.co/HBZmxYmhF7

Look, at this point, let’s call it a wait and see still. Was there a vote? Will there be a vote? What will that vote look like, and will we know the result of the vote or non-vote? If a vote happens in a forest and nobody is around, was there still a vote?
Maybe it’ll happen this weekend. Maybe it’ll happen on the first snowfall, or with the first leaves of fall. I do not like green eggs and ham Sam I am. I do not like this Big Ten vote thing at all.
