I wouldn't be surprised to see other conferences that do try to play have a bunch of guys opt out and just prep for the draft.
Certain things just aren't made for a pandemic and amateur sports (lol) seems to be one. |

They'll jump to another conference if they have to. |

And the answer is simple: Colleges don't want to be held liable. |

And the networks would be under no obligation to air Saturday NFL games over college football games. |

The liability argument is dodgy as hell. If they open at all, and allow these very same athletes on campus (with students that travel to/from their homes with regularity), how are they avoiding liability if those athletes get sick in a classroom instead of a lockerroom? These athletes are still coming on campus. They're still being monitored by the athletic departments and screened/tested. They just aren't practicing or playing anymore. I fail to see precisely how that significantly diminishes their liability unless many of these athletes simply leave campus (and some absolutely will). Maybe that's their plan. |

In a season with college football? No. |
Take something else into consideration, there are at least 3 states in the PAC-12 that wouldn't have let games happen anyway, I dunno how many there are in the Big 10 in that regard.
