THE BIG TEN IS CHANGING COURSE
AND ALWAYS YOU WILL BE ALLOWED
TO PLAY.
WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE THIS
AFTERNOON.
KRISTA FROST IS ON CAMPUS WITH
REACTION FROM BUCKEYE NATION.
BUT WE BEGIN WITH DAVE HOLMES
AND HOW ALL OF THIS WILL WORK,
DAVE.
WHAT STOOD OUT TO YOU IN THAT
PRESS CONFERENCE?
WE JUST HEARD FROM OSU THIS
MORNING.
YEAH, I JUST GOT OFF A ZOOM CALL
WITH PRESIDENT CHRISTINA JOHNSON
,ATHLETIC DIRECTOR GENE SMITH
AND HEAD FOOTBALL COACH RYAN.
THEY JOINED AT THE LAST SECOND.
THEY SAID THIS ALL ABOUT SCIENCE
.
THEY ARE IN A BETTER PLACE TO
PERFORM NOW THAN THEY WERE BACK
ON AUGUST 11TH WHEN THEY
ORIGINALLY POSTPONE THE SEASON.
THEY TALKED TESTY.
THERE WILL BE DAILY TESTS FOR
THE ATHLETES.
THEY TALKED A LOT ABOUT ENHANCED
SCREENING.
WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT MAYO
CARDIB, WHICH WAS THAT
INFLAMMATION OF THE HEART THAT
HAS BEEN LINKED TO CODY 19.
THAT WAS A GREAT CONCERN.
HOLED UP FOR MANY OF THE
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS.
WELL, THEY SAID IF ANY PLAYER
TEST POSITIVE FOR CODY 19, THEY
HAVE BETTER SCREENING TECHNIQUES
.
THAT SITUATION NOW.
THERE WILL NOT BE FANS ALLOWED
IN THE STANDS.
THEY SAID THAT WAS A
RECOMMENDATION OF THE DOCTORS.
BUT STILL, IT IS A GOOD DAY FOR
BIG TEN FOOTBALL.
THEY ARE BACK.
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR GENE SMITH
COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED.
WE'RE IN A BETTER PLACE
REGARDLESS OF HOW WE GOT HERE,
HOW PAINFUL IT WAS DURING THE
TIME THAT WE WAITED TO GET TO
THIS MOMENT.
THAT'S ALL BEHIND US WAS
BEAUTIFUL IS THAT WE HAVE
PROCESS AND PROTOCOLS IN PLACE.
THAT'S BASED UPON SCIENCE IS
BASED UPON LESSONS LEARNED CITED
FOR THE PLAYERS BECAUSE, YOU
KNOW, THEY NEVER LOST FAITH.
THEY NEVER LOST TRUST.
BEHAVIOR THROUGH THIS TIME HAS
BEEN EXCELLENT AND THEY NEVER
STOP FIGHTING.
AND IT WAS DURING A TIME THAT
WAS VERY, VERY UNCERTAIN.
IT'S NOT EASY FOR 19, 20, 20
ROEDED YOUNG MEN TO GO THROUGH
THIS.
RYANDAYTIME SAID IT WAS
EMOTIONAL WHEN HE TALKED TO HIS
TEAM THIS MORNING.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FOOTBALL
SIDE OF THIS.
THE SEASON WILL NOW BEGIN ON
OCTOBER 20 4TH.
THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY EIGHT
REGULAR SEASON GAMES NO BY WEEK
.
SO THEY'RE HOME GAMES FOR ROAD
GAMES.
THERE WILL BE A BIG
TEN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME THAT WILL
BE THE WEEKEND OF DECEMBER 19TH
.
RYAN DAY, HE IS ENCOURAGED.
HE THINKS THIS WILL GIVE OHIO
STATE ENOUGH OF A RESUMé TO
POTENTIALLY PLAY FOR A NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP.
THAT, OF COURSE, IS THE GOAL.
ONE OTHER FOOTBALL ISSUE, TWO
POTENTIAL FIRST ROUND DRAFT
PICKS HAVE ALREADY SAID THEY'RE
GOING PRO.
THAT'S OFFENSIVE LINEMAN WAIING
DAVIS, DEFENSIVE BACK SEAN WAIT
.
RYAN DOUH SAYS HE'S TALKING TO
BOTH OF THEM THIS MORNING.
HE SAID YES.
HE SAID THEY WANTED TO GO TO THE
NFL GIVEN THE INFORMATION THEY
HAD AT THE TIME.
HE SAID, QUOTE, THINGS HAVE
CHANGED SINCE THEN.
SO WE'LL WAIT AND SEE ON THAT
ONE KARINA.
ALL RIGHT, DAN, WE'LL CHECK BACK
IN WITH YOU TONIGHT ON 10 TV
NEWS AT 5:00 FOR MUCH MORE ABOUT
THIS.
BUT SOME OF YOU SITTING AT HOME
RIGHT NOW ARE WONDERING, AM I
GOING TO GET TO GO TO A BUCKEYE
GAME?
WELL, AS OF RIGHT NOW, FANS
WON'T BE ALLOWED INTO THE SHOE.
SO LET'S HEAR HOW BUCKEYE NATION
FEELS ABOUT THIS BIG
ANNOUNCEMENT ON OHIO STATE'S
CAMPUS.
WE'RE GOING TO CHECK IN WITH
HTOWN TVD KRISTA FROST KRISTA.
WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?
WX KARINA.
YOU KNOW, I'M ACTUALLY PRETTY
SURPRISED THE FIRST DUDE AT THE
OVAL SAID THAT HE'S EXCITED, BUT
HE CAN'T GO TO ANY OF THE GAMES
.
HE'S ALSO HOPING THAT ANYONE WHO
DECIDES TO CELEBRATE DOES SO IN
A SAFE AND SMART WAYS SO CASES
DON'T SPIKE.
AND THE SCHOOL DOESN'T HAVE TO
MAKE ANY MORE CHANGES.
NOW SOME OTHERS SAY THEY ARE
PUMPED.
OF COURSE, CODY PRAJZNER IS
SHEEHAN STUDENT HERE ALL THE WAY
FROM CALIFORNIA.
NOW, ASIDE FROM COMING TO OUR
HOUSE STATE FOR THE CLASSES,
SHE'S ALSO A FOOTBALL FANATIC,
WHICH IS WHY SHE IS SO EXCITED,
VERY PUMPED TO BE ABLE TO CHEER
ON OHIO STATE'S RETURN TO
FOOTBALL.
I DID ASK HER IF SHE'S TALKED
WITH ANY OF HER FRIENDS ABOUT
WHAT THEY'LL BE DOING TO CHEER
ON THE BUCKEYES A LITTLE BIT.
WE'LL JUST HAVE LITTLE
GATHERINGS WATCHED ON TV
HOPEFULLY AND JUST, YOU KNOW,
CELEBRATE WHERE OUR BUCKEYE
SHIRTS AND DO AS WE CAN DO AS
THE CAN IS.
RIGHT NOW I'M GOING TO STAY OUT
HERE ON CAMPUS, TALK WITH MORE
STUDENTS TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT
THEY'RE THINKING AND HOW THEY'RE
FEELING RIGHT NOW.
I'M ALSO PLANNING ON TALKING
WITH SOME OF THE PARENTS OF
THOSE PLAYERS TO GET AN IDEA OUT
THERE HANDLING THIS SITUATION.
BUT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HEAR FROM
ALL OF THEM TONIGHT AT 5:00.
BUT FOR NOW, PUTNAM LIFE FROM
THE MOBEEL KRISTA US 10.
ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, KRISTA.
SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF
MIXED EMOTION THERE.
WELL, THE BRAND NEW PRESIDENT
OBOIST YOU, DR. CHRISTINA
JOHNSON SAID MINUTES AGO THAT
SHE IS EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE
AND PROUD OF THE STUDENTS WHO
MADE THIS POSSIBLE.
IT'S A GOOD PLAN.
IT'LL TAKE US FORWARD AND
CONTINUING WORK TOGETHER.
IT WILL TAKE ALL OF US TO WORK
TOGETHER TO EXECUTE AN FINALLY,
I COULDN'T BE PROUDER OF OUR
YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO FOLLOWED
ALL THE SAFETY PROTOCOLS,
SETTING AN EXAMPLE ON OUR
CAMPUSES FOR HOW WE CAN MOVE
THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC WHILE
KEEPING US ALL SAFE.
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP TOOK TO
TWITTER TO CELEBRATE THE NEWS ,
