Summary
With much known and, simultaneously, unknown, Stewart and Bruce ask questions they want the answers to. The guys marinate in the oddity of how these decisions by both conferences affect them and the sports media industry (:30). What can we glean from the Pac-12's medical experts' report (6:45)? Did Larry Scott handle his league's explanation behind their decision process better than Kevin Warran and the Big Ten (13:45)? The guys ponder how much medical information has been shared between conference (17:15) before asking "how do [we] feel about this" (22:30)? Lastly, if there's already growing uncertainty that a season can't be played in the Fall, what makes others think it'll be fine by the Spring (25:00)?
