Won’t they win the Spring National Championship then?  
 

NCAA brass isn’t supporting the SEC, ACC, and BIG12 having a fall season. Buckeyes may be the only honored champion. 

NCAA doesn't crown a Division I football champion. College Football Playoff is a consortium of conferences that together crown a champion following a playoff they operate themselves.

So two national championships and the NCAA can put both on the website.

So, apparently what is trying to be pulled off is to get 6 of the Big Ten teams to play each other in a home/away 10 game schedule.  Ohio State seems to be leading the charge.  Evidently Penn State, Nebraska and Iowa are supposedly "in" on it, so they've got 4 right now.  Seems like they're still trying to get Wisconsin and Michigan to come on board.

Those are past champions but none were awarded by the NCAA. I'm assuming they have a website that shows past champions because all winners are members of the NCAA. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is ran by the conferences; the BCS was run by the conferences. Prior to 1998, champions were awarded by the AP, UPI, and other news agencies. At no point in the history of college football has the NCAA crowned a champion or awarded a trophy for a Division I football champion.

Even it is just on the NCAA website,  they could ignore what the southern schools do in the fall against their wishes, and only “recognize” what happens in the BIG10 and PAC12 in the Spring since it’s all mythical.

Michigan does not want to play, or lose to OSU twice.  They want no part of the season.

The NCAA has never crowned a football national champion so it doesn’t really matter. The championships have always been decided by a 3rd party whether it be the Playoff, BCS, or Polls. The only thing the NCAA has control over is eligibility of players competing in games.

Somewhat surprised Michigan State isn't "in", but perhaps they weren't expecting to have a great year.

Today was the second day of class right?  If they can keep it at 1% that would be remarkable.

They have tested over 10,000 students and faculty so far.

New coach. New QB. Couple rough years in a row. School under fire for multiple scandals recently. I’m sure MSU was very happy to take a year off of football and regroup.

That’s great news!  Notre Dame added 75 more cases today.  It’s all about containment.

Opponents would have to give Sparty a 14 point lead to get them to play.  It’s a mess up there, very reminiscent of Stoops taking over for Joker.

Honestly it’s probably more reminiscent of Joker taking over for Brooks at this point. I don’t think Sparty has hit rock bottom yet.

That's all very true.

Gene Smith is working behind closed doors I’m hearing.  Doors will be opened tomorrow, still not sure he can pull it off.

Looks like the  Big 10 reaffirmed their decision...no fall football.
