Force Majeure clauses. Unforseen circumstances beyond the control of either party relieves them from liability.

What if one side disputes that?

It would depend on the specific language in the contract, but good luck. My assumption is that it's typically pretty favorable towards the host in these situations.
As an example, in our standard sales contract anything outside our "reasonable control" counts including but not limited to, changes in law, accidents, terrorist acts, explosions, fires, windstorms, floods or other natural disasters, strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulties, riots, wars, or insurrections.
If it's not specified I guess you could argue that a pandemic isn't outside their reasonable control? I don't think you'd get very far, but I guess you could. The decision coming from the conference and not the school is also likely in their favor.

Well, that won't hold up since schools kicked God out a long time ago.

I know. How ironic that a left coast school will use that as their excuse.

TV would benefit by them playing because that will be the only way to watch it. Whether it becomes unwatchable due to no in stadium atmosphere is an argument though.
So I can see FBS taking that route and some of them would limit their losses but fcs isn't going to have that liberty.

Don't worry, he always retains the "kill 'em all" clause.
