Couple that with the Nebraska statement about wanting to play, hoping it's in the Big 10, but they're looking at other options...

1 year deal, join the SEC for football this year?
Take Nebraska and a couple other schools wanting to play (Iowa is mentioned early as voting against shutting it down, and Ohio State has since spoken up, with their president saying they would not vote to cancel). Penn State also making noise about playing.

Easy enough to schedule; go back and erase the extra SEC games, add home/away (5-5) for each new school. I haven't done the math, but I think we could do it. Put 2 in each division temporarily.

Forget the bowls and CFP this year, play the "SEC Championship" as a 4 team playoff if you like.

What, honestly, could the Big 10 do? If they choose not to offer a football season, then those schools aren't violating a league rule, I don't think. They'd simply be participating in an "extra-conference" athletic season. Sure, they could try to lean on the schools, but I don't think they'd dare frick with Ohio State, and I also don't think Nebraska would care. Iowa would be the only one they could really leverage, and the Big 12 would jump all over them if they chose to move (fits the conference profile, etc).
Penn State? The ACC would take them in a heartbeat, and they'd fit great in a division with Pitt, BC, Va Tech, Syracuse etc.
