So ignore the refs on the field because what they say doesn't mean shit and ignore their whistle.

So ignore the refs on the field because what they say doesn't mean shit and ignore their whistle. Again, this is another instance in which I wish I was barred in Iowa. I would go ahead and send a letter to the Big Ten letting them know that I am a lawyer in Iowa with contacts within a football program located in the Big Ten footprint (no names basis, of course). I would then point out that they have in essence advised folks that whistles mean nothing and that players are going to continue to play after the whistle as a result of this and ask them to confirm if their insurance carrier will indemnify and defend lawsuits when a player gets injured and go ahead and ask them for where they want me to send notice of suit the first time someone gets hurt playing after the whistle. I'll bet you'd get a clarification pretty quickly walking this back. I'd send the NCAA a courtesy copy as well and I'll bet this would find its way to the rules committee real fucking fast. These people only speak one language - avoid lawsuits.

I think it's all alternative fact-type ethos....

Maybe Thunder could do it? I'll try to draw something up. I should have some down time this weekend. I'll mention that as a football coach myself, I am keenly aware of the inherent foreseeable unreasonable risk posed to players at all levels when play continues after the whistle is blown by an official and players have let down their guard and returned to a defenseless posture. One can only imagine the potential orthopedic, neurological and spinal injuries occurring when a defenseless player, following the officials' dictates to suspend play upon hearing the whistle, is blindsided at full speed by an opposing player who is operating under the assumption and indeed encouragement that competitive deliberate action occurring post whistle may in fact materially impact the outcome of the game, as per guidance proffered by the conference.

It is to put the Big Ten on formal notice that the policy of telling players that the whistle doesn't necessarily mean a dead ball is reasonably likely to cause completely unnecessary injuries. So then if they ever get sued they can't say "this wasn't foreseeable" as a defense to their gross negligence. The one from Iowa might not mean much, but if they got one from a California plaintiff lawyer they would likely immediately reconsider their position.

They need to stop recruiting WRs. Take a few guys each year out of the portal and focus all passing game on TEs. Three TE sets every play. Go for 40 passes a game to TEs. Changing to that identity is the only chance Iowa has to win a natty.

My Davy is Maurice’s Southern Gold. Really solid Carolina mustard based BBQ sauce.
