It doesn’t guarantee it will happen but it’s significant. It’s significant like the release of the B1G schedule was significant last Friday. When the lawyers sink their teeth in and show the Presidents their liability / exposure when and if a kid get sick, then it’s: The Confederate Football Playoff isn’t going to hold up.
August 12, 20205 yr If BYU and Nebraska want in the Big12 for one year (the latter ain’t happening because Grant of Rights and such,) the conference should agree provided both play every game on the road.

I believe BYU’s current coach is two games over .500 in his tenure, and they don’t have the bionic man at QB. I’d also be fine playing only 9 games. Whoever wins the Big 12 is going to advance. To what exactly is anybody’s guess.

August 12, 20205 yr 8 minutes ago, Newy25 said: I mean, “kids” have already been getting sick. And the vast majority of them still want to play. Quote .... In another stunning move, the Big12 presidents decided to change the logo of the league. When pressed on why, the Presidents did not offer a response. Even in a crazy year like 2020, no one could have predicted that in addition to agreeing to play in a pandemic that the league would take such drastic marketing measures. It seemed also very confusing as the league only relatively recently decided to change their logo after the departure of 4 institutions and the adding of TCU and West Virginia to get the league to 10 teams. But, I guess nothing is surprising in the new normal. And one has to just take kind of look to the new logo for guidance.: The Big ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Football Means More
August 12, 20205 yr Why do I get the feeling the Big 12 is still going to cancel in a few weeks and they're more just kicking the can down the road so they don't look reactionary and following any other conference's lead?

August 12, 20205 yr this would be a good time for people to reconsider their allegiances I don't think you can understate the importance of doing what is right.

August 12, 20205 yr Mentioned this earlier, but if either American or Conference USA plays, that would give the "play" group a majority of the CFP board of managers (that's what they call their governing group). Seems like a no brainer if they can swing it financially, especially the AAC champ would have a legit shot at the playoff (Memphis favored, Cincy and SMU both pretty good). That would leave the Rose Bowlers playing their spring conference games for...maybe a few sympathy poll votes? Ohio State can win every game by 40 and it would be tough to justify over an SEC/BIG/Clemson team that won its conference plus a semifinal and NCG.
