I believe we're currently at 16 of 32 conferences still technically playing. Word is that the Big Sky will cancel/postpone the rest of their fall sports tomorrow. A bunch of other conferences have scheduled meetings over the next few days where they will probably do the same. At that point, all the fall DI sports will be below the 50% threshold and the championships will be postponed to the spring(at best). Will schools/conferences be able to justify playing fall football when they've postponed every other fall sport? I don't think enough will be willing to accept that much potential liability. Word is that the Big 12 is pretty evenly split right now; I think this will be enough to push some fence-sitters over the edge.
Let em.
The truth of the matter is that most power 5 schools need football $ or they're s.o.l.
