[Glenn's take]

I really think it's just the first domino for the non Power 5 conferences.

Hold onto your butts.

Some smoke the Big Ten cancel the season today ... I’d guess they punt a little longer before pulling the plug entirely.

Drip, drip, drip . . . .

MAC presidents are FOS saying it was a health and safety concern. Had the Power 5 conferences not gone conference only, the MAC would have had a season. No way Bowling Green is walking away from a combined $2.5 million from play two Bog Ten schools. This is strictly a financial decision.

There wont be a season. The fear porn politics and media have made it a goal to end sports in 2020. They have failed with pro sports so college sports are target.

One thing the article I saw said they might consider it in the spring. Is that really a viable option for anybody? It brings in too many questions not the least of which is can you play any kind of a full season, take 2 months off and then start over again.

Intriguing possibility, the smaller schools waiting until the spring to play football. You’d think that the networks would pay a little extra to televise the games, and the smaller schools wouldn’t have to compete with the big schools for headlines and airtime.
