I'm curious about that, and I'm also curious what the conference rules actually state.

Does the Big 10 specifically prohibit members from participating in sports they do not, themselves, sanction?

As I understand it, Missouri continues to field a wrestling program. It's not an SEC program, because nobody else in the conference has one anymore.

Right now, the Big 10 is not sanctioning fall football. That means there will be no 2020 Big 10 football champion.
That doesn't AUTOMATICALLY mean nobody can play.

Who knows what the actual conference bylaws are, but at the least this is a "we can't stop you (Nebraska and Iowa) from playing, but we can dissolve your membership if you annoy us..." sort of thing.

With the way regional culture has evolved over the last hundred years, Nebraska and Iowa both fit better in the big 12 then the big 10, but there is no way those schools would ever consider jeopardizing their big 10 membership for one extra year of football let alone consider permanently changing conferences,
