Big Ten going to conference-only slate this fall

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29435295/source-big-ten-moving-conference-only-model-all-sports-fall

Big Ten athletic directors and presidents have decided on moving to a conference-only model for all fall sports, including football.

They still think they're going to be playing football? Laughable.

Big Ten moving to conference-only model for all sports this fall

The fuk is this shit now.

The Big Ten decided on Thursday that a conference-only season for all fall sports, including football, is the most likely outcome, a source with knowledge of the discussions told ESPN.
If college football can be played this fall, Big Ten presidents and athletics directors prefer playing a conference-only schedule, which would eliminate some long-distance travel and help ensure that their teams are being tested for coronavirus universally, multiple sources inside the league and around college football told ESPN.

It’s over hopefully will have pro football Saturday Sunday Monday

**BigdaddyQH** · 07-09-20, 02:45 PM

If the Colleges will not play this season, why do you think that the Pro's will? With all the problems that the players and the owners have, it will be very difficult for any type of agreement to be reached.

Good to know that only people outside the Big 10 have COVID.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 07-09-20, 02:47 PM

The SEC soon to follow. They’re looking at an all conference schedule with ONE OOC game.

**Brock Landers** · 07-09-20, 02:48 PM

I don't think they've said it yet anywhere, but bowl games won't happen at all now either

**clockwise1965** · 07-09-20, 02:49 PM

response of the day, well done

**pavyracer** · 07-09-20, 03:18 PM

People still do not understand how this virus is transmitted. It is sad.

**thetrinity** · 07-09-20, 03:19 PM

Doesn’t matter, won’t happen at all.

**Brock Landers** · 07-09-20, 03:20 PM

Agree

pro fb on sat

no harm done

**navyblue81** · 07-09-20, 04:52 PM

For the sake of argument, say they don’t cancel and all conferences do conference only games.

1) They’re going to have to adjust the playoff format to allow 8 teams in. Non-conf games are a big part of the equation.

2) Notre Dame becomes an interesting question since they’re non-conf.

3) If you deal with 8-team playoff, how do you deal with non-power 5s and the playoff?

All good pts

Seems reasonable. Cut down on as much travel as possible. Heck mb take 3 diff busses of guys in case one gets rained and they all have to quarantine. Sucks for any team outside the Big12, Big10, SEC, ACC. If you are in any other conference you can go undefeated with a winning margin of 30+ and not get in the playoffs

**TheMetsSuck** · 07-09-20, 05:01 PM

Mb Notre Dame will temporarily join the big10, which they should have been in already for ages. Joke store called, they ran out of Brian Kelly

They are already in the ACC... sort of. They have 5 or 6 ACC games this year. Just keep that on the books.

**carolinakid** · 07-09-20, 05:23 PM

i really dont think the acc will play in foots and basketball this year.

**Mr KLC** · 07-09-20, 06:07 PM

The virus is here to stay. You have almost 100 potential players on a squad. Just play the damn games. Better they be in a protected environment from the university than to cancel games and give them carde blanche to get the crap at a frat party.
