Show Notes
Thanks to pretrial action for a lawsuit that presumably stands little chance of actually succeeding in court, we can finally confirm that there was, in fact, a vote by university leaders to cancel the 2020 Big Ten season, that it was 11-3 in favor, and (probably) that Penn State's Eric Barron joined with the majority. So why did it take the threat of litigation to squeeze this info out of the conference, and what was the point of hiding this information in the first place? The guys discuss the conferences unfathomably bad bumbling of the cancellation announcement and what might explain it. Elsewhere, Brandon is badly sunburned; Mike the Mailman's #MaskUpOrPackUp video racks up clout, and Chris does his best to make enemies of the entire listening audience by saying nice things about Jim Delaney, while Kevin explains to Chris why he's wrong.
