I think ND will get pulled into the ACC scheduling if it goes that route. I have no clue what BYU is going to do.
What is the thought process behind going to conference only schedules? Is there some benefit to not playing a team from Oklahoma, but playing one from Missouri or Texas?
Might be more an issue of control. Big Ten can control the testing protocol of its schools, but not the lower conference opponents with less resources.
I don’t see how the sunbelt, Mac and other lower conferences operate this year without p5 gate money.
Looking at the growth rate, you might want to reconsider being on Texas and Florida's side of that wall.
I cant speak for all counties, but knowing what I do about the one my wife teaches in, if they do what they've talked about doing, they will be back to remote learning at some point in the semester. They are planning to go back regular.
