Big 10 cancels fall football

I am sure they will make all classes online as well.

Pac 12 is right behind them

Figures - trying to play in spring 21 then turn around in fall 21 and play again is not player friendly / safe.

I am awaiting the announcement from PAC12 and BIG10 schools going to digital learning only - since it for student safety.

But they are going to collect every dime of tuition possible....

We've known that those two were out.

Looks like the SEC and ACC want to play. Does the Big 12 want to play? Will Nebraska, Ohio State, and others break away to play?

The simple and correct answer is NO -

BiG10 football is a hundred million dollar business for each school - BiG10 academics is a BILLION dollar business annually for each school...

No one is going anywhere, not even for one season

Pac 12 cancels all sports until January 1. That means our colorado basketball game is nixed.

I bet the phone lines at Nebraska are blazing trying to reach out to SEC.

Still unclear to me what things will look like though

Seems they could maintain current memberships and just act "as if" they were in the SEC or ACC just for scheduling purposes

Not with the conferences owning TV rights. There would be a mountain of litigation filed by and against any teams that try to play without conference approval even for one season.

I think USC had already announced that they would be online only (pretty sure the Cal-St. schools like Fresno St., SDSU, SJSU had also announced that way back early in this thing). Arizona will be mixed - I know of a new freshman there who will be online only for Fall. Washington State online.

Why doesn't everyone just attend University of Phoenix then? Screw these overpriced indoctrination centers.

They’re like 15,000 per year

I'm starting to think this whole "college" thing is over-rated, and just not worth the trouble.

...and if I hear one more SEC "fan" say, "awww they just scared to play big boy football..." :((

They are the most pompous fan base in College football...that never went to college ANYWHERE.
