One thing I promise: Every NFL-caliber player, especially the 5th year guys, will hear from SEC, ACC and Big 12 schools by the end of tonight. One (of dozens) unintended consequences here is that Big Ten rosters are going to get absolutely pillaged if football is played elsewhere

That's only true if the NCAA waives their transfer rule requirement that players sit a year when changing schools. They won't.

Well, the normal transfer assumes the team you are leaving is PLAYING football that year.   There is no doubt this would qualify as a hardship transfer I would think.  It the team you are leaving is not playing football, I can't see how the NCAA can prevent you from going somewhere else.  

 

That said unless you are a serious stud or the other team is in serious need of someone at your position I think it is kinda late for this type of thing on the offensive side of the ball.   On the defensive side there are a lot of plug and play positions at the college level but on offense it is a different story.

NCAA football has become more and more regional over the last 15 years.  The SEC has dominated for sure.  Add in a few ACC teams, Oklahoma and Ohio State and you basically have the South/Southeast, Texas / Oklahoma and a small part of of the Union (Columbus).    The ratings don't lie and the collapse of the Pac-12 in particular USC has turned college football into a regional sport for the most part. 

So now we have those same regions forging ahead with football while the red headed step children will be sitting on their hands.  Ohio State must be beside themselves.   I do think it is laughable that the excuse being used is to look out for the safety of the players.   There is nothing safe about playing tackle football at the college level.

College football news: Big Ten, Pac-12, Mountain West cancel fall 2020 seasons as SEC, ACC, Big 12 forge ahead

Here is the latest information on the season outlook across the country during the coronavirus pandemic

 

Below is the breakdown of what we know about the measures being taken at each division of the sport as the scheduled kickoff of the 2020 college football season approaches.

FBS

Big 12: League presidents met on Tuesday, Aug. 11, where they voted to forge ahead with the 2020 college football season in the fall. The full schedule -- which includes league play beginning on Sept. 26 with one nonconference game for teams to be played two weeks prior on Sept. 12 -- was released the following morning, and you can view the full details here

 

Big Ten: The Big Ten announced that it is postponing fall sports with hopes of playing in the spring. By doing so, it became the first Power Five conference to take such a drastic step. The landmark decision came amid uncertainty with the COVID-19 pandemic, and it met some resistance. Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos and head coach Scott Frost released a joint statement shortly after the Big Ten's announcement criticizing the decision.

 

Pac-12: The Pac-12 canceled its fall sports season with hopes of playing in the spring, CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd confirmed on Tuesday. The move comes after the league announced its full schedule on July 31 with the season for the conference set to begin on Saturday, Sept. 26.

 

SEC: The SEC announced it will play a 10-game, conference-only schedule but has not released a schedule yet. The conference also announced the two additional conference opponents each program will face in the fall.

 

ACC: The ACC decided on an 11-game game schedule for the 2020 season, consisting of 10 league games and one nonconference opponent. Notre Dame will join the ACC for 2020 only. Here are the full details. Here are the full details

 

Independents: Notre Dame is scheduled to play 10 ACC teams this season as part of the conference's updated schedule. On the other extreme, UConn, UMass and New Mexico State have canceled their 2020 seasons. The other independents are BYU, Liberty and Army, and each are in varying stages of finalizing their 2020 slates.

 

Conference USA: C-USA announced Aug. 12 that it met with medical professionals and will continue working toward playing in 2020. Its teams will play their originally scheduled eight conference games and up to four nonconference games. The league title game is scheduled for Dec. 5 but could be moved to later if needed. However, Old Dominion has made the call to cancel fall sports.

 

AAC: AAC teams will be allowed to play up to 12 games, if they choose. The league slate is scheduled to consist of eight games, like it usually does, with conference play beginning on Sept. 19. The AAC Championship Game will be played on either Dec. 5, 12 or 19 at the stadium of the regular-season champion.

 

MAC: The MAC will not play college football in the fall. It does, however, intend to play in the spring. 

 

Mountain West: The league announced that it will not play a fall 2020 season. It does intend to play in the spring.

 

Sun Belt: The Sun Belt announced on Aug. 4 that it will play a full season beginning on Labor Day. Several member schools have had nonconference games canceled, but the league will allow teams to add new nonconference games in order to reach a 12-game slate. A league championship game is scheduled for Dec. 5, but the date can be adjusted if necessary. On Aug. 10, amid growing cancellation concerns amid some conferences, Stadium's Brett McMurphy reported that the Sun Belt is planning for football in the fall. 

FCS

The Football Championship Subdivision is comprised of 13 conferences and two independent programs. So far, 10 FCS leagues have announced they will not play sports -- football included -- this fall. Those conferences are the Ivy League, MEAC, Patriot League, CAA, NEC, Pioneer Football League, Big Sky, Big South, the SWAC and the Missouri Valley Football Conference. The SWAC, Big Sky and Missouri Valley did announce plans to play this spring, however, with several other conferences leaving the door open for the possibility. 

 

Division II, III and NAIA

The NCAA Division II and Division III councils canceled their fall championships on Aug. 5, citing the challenges posed by the pandemic. Those decisions came after the NAIA announced on July 31 that its football national championship has been postponed to the spring, though the NAIA left it up to individual conferences on whether or not they still want to have seasons this fall. 

 

(Lots of new updates as to individual teams, etc. proceeding or punting on the season--but will not post the tweets, as they are multitudinous. Full details in link)

The NCAA won't grant hardships willy-nilly to players from Big 10 and Pac 12 schools. They are at least nominally planning to play in the spring so they'll have football this school year.

College Football’s Divided Season Reveals Fissures That Have Existed for Generations

The Big Ten and Pac-12 have postponed football this fall. The ACC, Big 12, and SEC are pressing on. The lack of cooperation among the sport’s power brokers sets the stage for a bizarre season—and represents something much larger.

FWIW, Columbus City Schools cancelled all of their fall sports and extracurricular activities a few weeks ago, but they’re also starting the school year completely online so I guess they couldn’t justify having after school activities if there’s no school.

It’s a hodge-podge everywhere. Many of the  Columbus suburban schools are also beginning online, but going forward with sports...maybe. 
 

I have many school district clients in both Lorain and  Cuyahoga counties. The Cuyahoga ones are closed initially and not doing fall sports. The Lorain ones are. Interestingly, the schools are all in the same football conference. How’s that for a scheduling nightmare?
