Every single one of these major football announcements are due to financial concerns and not the virus. Reporters keep spreading paranoia that UConn or the MAC cancelling will lead to the P5 cancelling when the reality is that the financial concerns are wildly different.
- The P5 conferences are going conference only or +1 because it allows member teams to void rent-a-win games that would be unprofitable without a capacity crowd.
- This, in turn, caused the MAC to cancel fall football because it would be financially devastating to take on the expense of a season without the revenue of 4 big money games.
- UConn canceled football because they are independent and had no one to play. They were already in discussions to potentially disband football before there was a virus.
- The major conferences are looking stronger, more organized, and more prepared for a fall season by the day, while it is the non-P5 that are not looking so good. Reporters need to recognize the difference.

Conference only games meets the minimum standard for supplying an inventory of Games that forces the TV Networks to honor those Contracts and write those huge checks, OoC Cupcakes and Fans in the Stands have no impact on those Contracts, so the ADs, Prezes, and Conference Commissioners can sacrifice those pawns, and create the perception that they care about Safety in Society while still chasing the biggest source of Cash, The TV Networks
