But the B1G chose to play under those conditions and now because they realize they screwed up they want to change the rules they put in place.  

That’s literally everything the B1G has done all year. The only reason the B1G played football at all is because they made a decision and changed their mind after.

Actually I really do dislike OSU football, but respect the heck out of their program and what they have built.  Personally I don't blame OSU for the ridiculous approach the B1G took.  Now I will root for the Buckeyes in basketball......

You dislike OSU football and root for OSU basketball? You might be the only person in the world where that is the case haha

Barry Alvarez and Borchers are apparently on it to get the 21 day rule reduced so whoever is out because of a positive test will hopefully be able to play in the playoffs. 

While I think it goes without saying, the BIG 10 shot callers are a joke, this seems reasonable.  Since March this has been a fluid situation.   Not changing with it, in my opinion, is ignorant.

How can any kid have not rooted for a team with Granville Waiters on it?

OSU short 3 starters today.  Top WR Chris Olave, linebacker Baron Browning, punter Drue Chrisman.

 Not good! They are going to adjust the timeline though, hearing B1G is gonna use a brand new arbitrary number of 17 days, not 21.

Do B1G rules matter anymore? Would the conference block a team from a bowl game? Could they?

Supposedly, the playoff committee wants all teams to honor conference rules.  B1G will adjust something and continue to make things up as they go.

Bottom line is there really isn’t a 4th team, probably not even a 3rd.  It’s Bama and Clemson in my book.

Kind of like playing against your little brother....if it ain't working, change the rules so you can win. This fiasco will pave the way to expand the playoffs to eight and eliminate some bogus bowl games run by ESPN. If a team goes 2-6, 4-5, do they REALLY need to be "rewarded" with a bowl game? Most players would probably enjoy the time off.... especially this year.
