The exploring options part didn’t come back again until Ryan Day said it the next morning. And so he wasn’t talking about exploring options. Hey, whatever happens, we’re in the Big Ten, we’re just going to do it. You had the resigned acceptance from him. Gene Smith on Tuesday when all that happened. You know that the statement from Nebraska was signed by the system. Jon Johnston: Ryan Day basically in Ohio State basically came out and said the same exact thing in so many words that Scott Frost did, and he got a completely different reaction.Īndy Staples: Because Gene Smith didn’t say the same thing. But shouldn’t you have a plan in place or at least a few different plans to pick from before you decide to punt on the fall on August 11th, when you still had three weeks or so to really decide? But those two coaches are the first two to say anything. Jeff Brohm came out with his own on Thursday. Ryan Day came out with his idea for a spring season on Wednesday. I mean, one of them is the spring season thing, which is, clearly they hadn’t put much thought into it. I’m not sure they haven’t given a satisfactory answer yet. I don’t blame them saying it because there’s some questions that the Big Ten probably should have answered before they decided to postpone. ![]() I know Iowa had some issues with the way things were done. So things are a little different, communications different. Kevin Warren’s only been on the job for eight months or seven months now. Usually it’s very stoic and measured and and they don’t get that much pushback from their schools, at least not publicly.Īndy Staples: But the difference is there’s a new commissioner in the Big Ten. But the Big Ten’s not used to that sort of response. I think everybody knew that they’re not going to actually do anything to disrupt their membership in the Big Ten. And then you get the response after the Big Ten decided to postpone football, Nebraska, they said they would explore other options. That’s coming from above and that’s approved at the at the chancellor level or maybe system president level before he even lets that come out of his mouth. First of all, that’s not just Scott Frost’s sentiment. And so, when Scott Frost came out on Monday and said what he said. And because all these decisions, when conferences make them say they want to act like they’re unanimous and we know they’re not actually unanimous, but usually there isn’t as much vocal opposition. I think that the mad at Nebraska part comes from them sort of breaking with the league on a decision. What’s the deal?Īndy Staples: Sounds like everybody in Nebraska is mad at the Big Ten. ![]() Jon Johnston: We’re going to start out with - what is going on? All we wanted to do is play football and now everybody’s mad at Nebraska.

The transcript has been edited to take out human speech bites, you know, um, okay, uh, but it’s not been edited to be an “article”. As much as “artificial intelligence” is included in the description of every bit of technology these days, it’s clear that computers understanding human speech is more artificial than intelligent.
