This will be devastating for the Pac 12 if the Big 12, SEC, and ACC play. The Big Ten will recover but it will take a while. The Pac 12 was barely holding on to relevancy as it is with weak recruiting, attendance, and tv ratings. This will only widen the gap. The ACC and Big 12 have the most to gain from playing. The SEC is already about as good as you can get so the excess talent from the midwest and west coast will filter down to the Big 12 and ACC. The Big 12 might be able to return to its past glory if they could convince both Arizona schools, Colorado, and Utah to join them.

Big 10, pac 12 and all the other conferences that sit out this year won’t have baseball and even basketball for the foreseeable future. They will cut non-revenue sports to make up for the lost revenue. This is probably why the SEC will keep playing. Some athletic departments will never recover from a lost season. Especially at small schools.

Power 5 AD made it clear: doesn’t mean SEC, ACC and Big 12 are playing, just means they’re not giving in just yet. They’re continuing to move forward.
Science and medical professionals (and ultimately, university presidents) will dictate what they do.

Good. More press coverage for the SEC

NCAA needs March Madness to happen, and March Madness will not happen if football is cancelled because no schools make money on basketball.

Spoke to a Group of Five AD: "When the Big Ten cancels, we're expecting to be on call within a day." Everyone is watching the Big Ten. There could be some patience to see who joins them. But that's the domino everyone is watching.

I think we all knew the PAC 12 would pussy out, sad to see from the Big 10 though

This shows you just how irrelevant the Pac 12 has become. They could cancel their season and the rest of the conferences wouldn't even care.

Why do people still think the NCAA has this much power? SEC will make that decision on their own, and already have the conference only schedule set up so not sure why everyone thinks the Big 10 is so important for the SEC. Seems like the signs point to the SEC wanting to play regardless of what the other conferences decide.

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) has drafted a letter that he plans to send to Big Ten presidents, identifying reasons why he believes college football should be played.
Sasse is a former university president.

The ACC and the Big 12 are on the fence.. And the SEC is trying to get teams to join them for a season.
Tell those conferences that the games are back on with LSU & Texas, Florida & FSU, South Carolina and Clemson, Ole Miss and Baylor, etc and they will play...

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.
I think it has as much to do with the PAC 12 players on "strike" as anything. PAC 12 may never recover....they're already insignificant in CFB.
Big 10 on the other hand is disturbing...hard to imagine Ohio State and Michigan not wanting to play.....that doesn't bode well for the SEC.
There are only 6 teams in the SEC with a real shot at winning a national title or a conference title....and that is the only reason to play football with money as it is. That leaves 8 programs in conference with no incentive to play this year...thats problematic.

I have been listening to them talk about it on Get Up this morning. I think it was Booger who brought up the fact that the B1G and Pac 12 are tied at the hip (Rose Bowl). He stated that IF the B1G cancelled, the Pac would cancel also.

With conference only schedules has anyone addressed bowl games / playoffs / national title game? Can't see any of that happening without the big 10....so the SEC CG will be a national title game, along with the ACC title game and the Big 12 title game...
I may be dumber than a sack of hammers but I don't see a significant difference in a team traveling to Columbia MO to play a game and going to Stillwater Oklahoma or Lubbock Texas....Boston College will be traveling to the Carolinas in an ACC only schedule and Notre Dame will also...maybe even to south florida...the whole conference only thing makes no sense outside of being able to handle the inevitable cancellations. Bowl games the post season ain't happening, and outside of 6 teams in the SEC, maybe 2 in the ACC counting ND and one in the big 12 there ain't anyone else with a real shot at winning a national title anyway...I don't see any of it happening.
