If for nothing else, he should get canned for being blind to the optics of allowing his son to play while denying that choice to hundreds of other parents and their sons.
The original story wasn't that Kevin Warren denied that choice to hundreds of other parents. The original story was that the University Presidents made that decision.

Now the University Presidents are getting blowback, so they're changing the story to pin it all on Big Bad Warren.

That seems pretty accurate. I am not sure if the presidents are just wanting to take the pressure off of themselves because it’s Much higher than they all probably thought it would be and it’s just falling on Warren or if that’s intentional.

I think it's just natural to fall on Warren.

The University Presidents don't want to impugn their peers. And which one of them wants to admit that one of their peers ran roughshod over them?

Warren isn't "one of them", being the commish and not a President. And he's the new guy. Big Jim wouldn't take this BS laying down. Warren hasn't built up his cred yet. 

So he's getting hit from all sides because he's the natural target.

If an older coach died, it would be a huge media story, which often elicits reactions.
some group could react with a petition to be signed by enough folks to put older coaches in a bubble

The guy is really out of his league. Cancels the season then faces the backlash by saying the season was only postponed. Shares the concerns of the parents than refuses to meet with him. Warren has pissed off all the coaches, hasn't been transparent, is incurring the conference to numerous lawsuits, and is now hiding out in Minnesota. Time to go.

In announcing Thursday that there would be no tailgating on campus this season for Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Southern Miss football games, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves tweeted a zinger in the direction of the Big Ten and Pac-12.

I know this will not be popular, but there will be no game day social gatherings around stadiums: rallies, parties, tailgates. It's no fun, but it's what allows the athletes to play. I'd still rather be in the SEC with no tailgates, than the PAC-12 or Big 10 with no football.

Breaking from Morrill Hall: Joan Gabel proposes delaying any residential move-ins that haven't already happened back two weeks, and the first two weeks of the semester fully online. This applies to the Twin Cities, Duluth, and Rochester campuses. The other campuses had already pushed their schedules back.

Had things gone to form, marching band moves in Monday, incoming freshmen on August 31, and everyone else in university housing September 5.
