Interesting decision. They are going to be criticized either way for whatever decision they made simply because of the way they handled it...which was terrible. After a week, nobody cared and stopped paying attention to them. Leadership seems to be lacking as they straddled the fence for way too long. But, when you are in "business" with 14 large Universities (yes the Big 10 is 14 schools.....don't ask me!) coming to a concensus among self-important and highly paid Presidents and ADs resembles our wonderful quick and nimble Federal govt. Bottom line is they can't win in public opinion polls, so they are just going to cash the check at the end of the season.
