Summary

Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren is receiving most of the blame for the conference canceling its fall football season. But some fans have said the university presidents are the ones who should be taking the heat from the public. Because if they wanted Big Ten football this fall, there would be Big Ten football. But the same is true for Warren. If he wanted football to be played in the Big Ten this fall, there would be Big Ten football this fall. The point is both things are true, and Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to explain why. Also, is Bax holding out any hope that the Big Ten will reverse course and play this fall? Especially when they see high school kids playing this Friday in Ohio? To close the show, we discuss how all of this might impact Ohio State's recruiting, if at all. All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

0:00.0	The Oh, I'm not. Good morning buck nuttters.
0:25.0	to the bucknuts morning,

0:44.1	Kors Light instead of our beloved Buckeyes.
0:47.0	And I like Kors Light.
0:48.6	I really like Kors Light even.
0:49.9	But man, I'd rather have a Kors Light while watching the Buckeyes play football 12 games this fall or 10 games is fall like the other conferences seem to be doing so
0:58.7	There's there's definitely some bitterness here that the Buckeyes are in the spot they're in.
1:04.0	This is one of those things where like I don't know if we're ever gonna really
1:08.0	be okay with it, you know what I mean?
1:10.0	It seems like the conference big wigs are more concerned about calling the police on the big ten parents to come talk to Kevin Warren than they are about actually changing their mind in this decision.
1:20.0	So we may be stuck with a fall without the buck guys for the first time since the late 1800s and I don't know if there's anything we can do about it at this point.
1:30.0	So yeah, I'm hanging in there.
1:33.4	I'm not pleased about it though.
1:36.0	When they made this decision over two weeks ago,
