College football cancellation news is flying around the twitter-sphere today -- I'll try and keep this thread updated with anything noteworthy. Please feel free to add anything I miss.

DP was told an hour ago that the Big 10 and Pac 12 will cancel their football seasons tomorrow... The ACC and the Big 12 are on the fence.. And the SEC is trying to get teams to join them for a season.

Dan Patrick reports Big Ten had internal vote & by 12-2 margin, league members opted on not having a fall football season. Nebraska & Iowa were only schools that voted to play this fall, @dpshow said. Patrick said Big Ten & Pac-12 would cancel fall seasons Tuesday.

We know concerns remain. We have never had a FB season in a COVID-19 environment.
Can we play? I don’t know. We haven’t stopped trying. We support, educate and care for student-athletes every day, and will continue to do so...every day.

[Nebraska's] Frost on playing if the Big Ten cancels: Wants to play a Big Ten schedule, but "we're prepared to look for other options."

An Ohio State University source tells cleveland.com OSU would not vote to cancel Big Ten football in 2020, but it also does not expect a vote tonight.

SEC better nut up and play. Will set us up as THE league going forward, and we will be able to dominate recruiting this year and in the future. We will probably get a ton of badass transfers too.

So play to establish something that you've already been for years now?
If the Big10 and Pac12 cancel, the SEC won't be too far behind in cancelling.

If we play this year and the other leagues cancel, the gap between SEC and the other power 5 leagues going forward might as well be NFL vs CFL. Their whole athletic departments will be shut down for an entire year.

I find it very hard to believe OSU did not vote to play.

With 2 major P5 conferences canceling, a season wont happen, plain and simple.
I know some of us have delusions of at least the SEC playing football, I just dont see it happening with no outside competition and the NCAA will be heavily against it as well.

Big 12, ACC, and SEC need to have the season.
Covid isn't going anywhere, and it's not nearly as deadly as we thought. Time to let life resume.

Run by a giant liberal I would bet. Farm boys in Iowa and Nebraska know their state better than most.

Unfortunately, I fear that when the power 5's start dropping out then it will basically push everyone out or put huge liabilities on the ones left standing
Posted on 8/10/20 at 9:06 am to paperwasp
If the Big Ten and Pac-12 decide to cancel fall sports, they should also cancel all in-person classes for the remainder of the year as well. Because canceling football due to liability while also allowing school to continue unabated is the very height of hypocrisy.

I feel like the perceived liability is driving most of this.

College football doesn’t need big 10 or pac 12 to be successful. Let them sit out and Pearl clutch about corona virus while their schools go under.
Posted on 8/10/20 at 9:10 am to paperwasp
I find it hard to believe that OSU who have been on the playing train from the start and Michigan who prints money through football would be in for this. Especially without the agreement of all 5 conferences

They must have already cashed the tuition and grant checks...for the fall.
