Not a huge surprise, but still shocking.   This may be the first Fall season without football for many of us ---in our lifetimes.

I can't begin to imagine the logistics of trying to reschedule the three main sports (Football, Men's and Women's basketball) on top of other pro sports (possibly NFL, Hockey, and NBA) for TV and some facilities for the spring.

I would guess that if they play in the Spring it would only be conference games

Expect the same for the rest of us. Unfortunately.

I can't see how the P5 conferences will go for this.   Between ticket sales/concessions on gamedays & TV monies lost, that's a TON of revenue not coming in for those schools.

Looks like P5 ADs are thinking a delayed fall start playing only conference games. Not the majority, but most common choice.
