I respect the Big Ten's decision. It may turn out to be the correct decision after we see how things play out over the next month or two. The chances of the SEC or any conference going through the season unscathed is slim to none.
I had a mild cardiomyopathy for several years that was apparently caused by the Shingles virus. I was one of the very few that was able to fully recover from it with the help of my cardiologist. But it ain't fun. I wouldn't wish it on anyone especially a fine-tuned athlete who expects the full capacity of his heart.
