Big 10 to only have Conference Football games... Trickle down to FCS about to begin

Heard rumors the PAC12 and Mountain West might soon follow, obviously has impact on FCS and Big Sky Conference if that occurs.
Big Sky Commish seems to be 50-50 on football happening at the moment.
 
I think this is just the beginning of the crumble. If I were a betting man, I would think we won't see college football this fall, at least at the FCS level.

If the big sky and other FCS teams lose their money games, it’s going to really hurt these programs....not looking good for a FCS season this year, at least not this fall...

Athletics will be fine...but it’s a financial $hit storm at Ewu right now as it is with a ton of other universities...

What happens when they don't have enough wins to be "Bowl Eligible" and can't have that big payday and prestige?
 
At this point I would be thrilled if the Griz still played conference only games, I got a bad feeling there won't be any games for UM.

Source says Pac-12 is likely to follow the Big Ten’s lead in the coming days on a conference-only slate this fall.

There will be no bowls. just an old school conference championship
 
If there is no season and the NCAA grants an additional year of eligibility for Seniors, how many of our seniors will take it? I’m worried about Akem and Toure not taking it, even though I think they would. But would Humphrey? Would Dylan Cook? Would Gavin Robertson? These are all just examples, but what kid would wanna spend more time in college then they already have to?

Only conference games could still be like 23 games per season.
 
My idea of a best of 7 series against MSU is sounding better and better. :lol:

But seriously, this sucks.

Sounds perfect to me if it happens

The stupid 13 team Big Sky (Minus Poly and Sac St, if they can't play) Just became a 10 game season with everyone playing each other...

I say YES!!!!!

Please and Thank You!

Too much money involved for the NCAA to pass on. If it's safe enough to play regular season games, why would it not be safe enough to play bowl games?
