I think the argument is that they're the fulcrum for legitimacy - SEC & ACC want to play (/are in areas people want them to play), B1G & PAC aren't. And if the demographics of the fan base matter I think the Big 12 will try to make it work. Notre Dame already is an interesting outlier - I don't think Ohio State's President would let them anyways, but I also wonder if that's why they are officially only postponing until the spring instead of cancelling the season - with a full cancellation now a specific school (like Ohio State who are title contenders every year) would have more leverage if they wanted to play.

Nah, if SEC/B12/ACC play that's the realer of the 2 seasons. Would B10/P12 really play glorified exhibitions in the spring unless vaccines are out & the risks are over? How does that even work with NFL draft prospects?

Despite the time stamp on that tweet Lou said that a couple weeks ago. I just love that Lou Holth is still out there - he's like 90, let him live!
