Iowa, Other B1G Football Parents Pen Open Letter to Kevin Warren

I don't have a dog in this fight, but for god's sake get someone to proofread and edit your letters/statements, etc. before you issue them. Call me a grammar nazi if you want, but it doesn't change the fact that statements need to be proofed and properly written for people to take them even remotely seriously. This one goes the extra bad step of trying to appear as if it was written by a lawyer, and that actually makes it sound worse. You can't tell me there wasn't one Big Ten parent in that group with an English degree for christ's sake.

The fact that these people are scapegoating the conference and Warren is preposterous. The conference, as an entity, certainly wants to play. I'll bet that at least half of the university presidents received either express or implied threats from the state governments that made it clear that the politburos don't want there to be football. These peoples' beef isn't with the conference, it is with the politburos who can push the presidents around. There is a 0% chance JB or Whitman is going to let some group of football parents change their minds. The ship has sailed. If these people feel so strongly that they have been wronged, they need to put their money where their mouths are and pull their kids out of Big Ten schools and enter the portal.

And those parents are gonna look dumb when the other three conferences shut down.

That bad? I haven't taken the time to read it. Figured the gist of it would be what it is.
