"Illinois and Northwestern agreed Friday to run every offensive play toward the same end zone in their showdown at Wrigley Field this weekend to avoid the possibility of players running into a padded brick wall at the other end of the field.
The surprising announcement came just one day before Saturday's game at the historic home of the Chicago Cubs. Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said the NCAA waived several playing rules "in the interest of student-athlete safety (CBS)."
Are you fucking kidding me? What is this a two hand touch game in the backyard? What a joke. If the field doesn't fit, then don't play there. It is really that simple.
How the fuck did no one measure this before committing to having the game there? I mean I hope someone is getting fired. Another funny thing is what about those people who bought tickets near the endzone that they aren't going to be playing towards? I mean that sucks, now all the action is going to be on the opposite side of the field.
Anyways, this wouldn't happen in the SEC and the Big Ten should be ashamed of themselves.
