There's a lot of Rumors Flying

But here is my best guess as to what has actually happened since the MAC threw in the towel over the weekend:

I think the Big 10 Presidents did vote this morning, and its likely that the reports of a 12-2 vote to cancel the season did in fact happen. If it hadn't happened, the Big 10 itself would have very quickly made a statement to refute the news, but it did not. I think they intentionally leaked it to the media in hopes that the other major conferences would quickly follow in the same direction.

Now that the SEC and ACC seem to have doubled down on their intention to at least TRY to still play, many of those University Presidents who did vote "no" towards playing the season are starting to have second thoughts.

I think Nebraska and Iowa likely did vote on playing this season. That's why Nebraska HC Frost made the statement that if Nebraska can't play in the Big 10 this season, they'll look at other options.

That's not only a statement of intent to play this season. That's a threat to the league that if they continue down this path, there might be lasting repercussions such as the break-up of the entire league.

The SEC was brilliant to postpone play until late September. The ACC was very stupid to try to start their season on 9/12. They might pull it off, but the SEC has two extra weeks to evaluate the very fluid situation. The Big 12 will likely announce their schedule this week, and I'm going to guess they'll follow the SEC and kick the season off on 9/26.

The Big 10 has a real pickle on their hands. They have got to make a final decision this week since their season is set to kick-off just 24 days from now. The SEC doesn't even have to make a decision until about 24 days from now, so when the SEC is getting ready to make the call, the BIG 10 will already be playing or will have already called the season off.
