I'm guessing most of you are aware of the news that Ohio St. will get to play in the conference championship game even though they didn't qualify with the required number of games because of Covid. Well the Chicago Tribune broke this news today.

Truth be told, most conferences are the BIG ONE

@wissox Realistically from a financial stand point, the B10 would've been crucified for not helping OSU out. Without the B10 title game, there was a decent chance of OSU getting left out of the College Football Playoff and costing the B10 millions of dollars in revenue.

@DanR True, in basketball the Big 12 definitely is!

@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah, to be honest it's the right decision.

Financially it was a no-brainer but good grief they don't even hide their bias to bend over backwards and back around again for Ryan Day and whatever comes out of his mouth
