The writing was on the wall for this when Pac 12 mentioned this possibility months ago.
I still doubt they play this season but I suppose this kicks the can down the road a little further.
I do wonder what happens with Notre Dame. Notre Dame has now lost 3 potential games (2 Pac 12 and 1 Big 10 opponents) but I suppose they could try to fill in with more games against the ACC. I hope this makes ND finally join a conference.
I do feel bad for the lower tiered schools and conferences that need the revenue from these games.
An incredibly half-assed decision. Playing three fewer games doesn't really help reduce the chances of spreading the virus between teams or players all that much. Especially not when there are already a number of outbreaks both on certain football teams and on campuses in general.
The only real benefit of this is that it makes it easier to flex to a spring schedule when the fall season is inevitably canceled.
Been planning for the game in Vegas for 2 years, including buying season tix to UNLV to get good seats. This has a 99.7% survival rate and those under 40 are not at risk. End the hysteria.

Let's play 11 games, blow up the divisions and have a real league champion!
I had a feeling this would happen. It's too bad that we won't play TCU to get revenge from that very ugly loss from the Cheez-Int bowl.
I wonder if we will stick with the 9 game conference schedule or bump it to 11 conference games. Such a bummer.
If the rest of the football schedule doesn't change, today's decision means our first game will be on Sept. 26 against Utah.
WTF? They're going to play? In bubble wrap?
It's over. The golden year is ruined. :(

This is a garbage decision.
