It will be interesting to see if there is a "domino effect" as the Ivy League becomes the first Division I conference to postpone football (until at least the spring of 2021). Many other college/university Presidents "look up" to the prestigious Ivy League (particularly Harvard) and possibly could be swayed by this decision. Stay tuned.
Many other programs have as well.
This reminds me of when we were young and parents wanted kids with chicken pox to hang out together so everyone can get it at once and be done with.
I think the return of MLB and NBA will set the tone for football season.
Now we have to wonder if we can have fans in the stands or not and how this will work?
An SEC team can field 75k packed like sardines. They dont care.
A team in California may allow 1 family every 5 rows. Who knows?
It didn't take long for the first of the Power 5 conferences to make their move with the Big 10 canceling all non-conference games. There goes Ohio State / Oregon in week 2, Michigan/Washington and the big rivalry game between Iowa and Iowa St to name a few. Just a coincidence that this announcement came less than 24 hours after the Ivy League made the first move? I think not. But at least they are still planning on playing a full conference schedule (at this juncture).
I think it's a pretty safe assumption that the next Power 5 conference to announce significant changes to its college football schedule will likely be the Pac-12. It's two largest states (California and Arizona) are currently Covid-19 hot spots. And many of the colleges and universities in this conference are state-run schools meaning the governors may have decision-making input as well.
