Seriously. What in the actual **** is their malfunction? Half the SEC is straight garbage, just add an extra conference game.
Because if they have an OOC game against the ACC (Florida state, Georgia tech, Clemson, Louisville) then they hopefully get to pad their wins with 3 wins and 1 loss instead of 2 wins and 2 losses. This is the way the conference thinks. Super annoying. Then the three teams that don’t have natural rivalries get to schedule some bum team and they can go 6-1 in the OOC from the East.
ND is how the ACC is going to "fix" their 8 game conference schedule. It's actually not a bad play. The SEC lacks such an option unless they throw a bone to Army and BYU.
So this is what I think happened. All P5 teams knew this was coming. There is obviously the normal big-10, Pac-12 alliance vs. the acc/sec alliance with the big 12 just sitting there with their thumbs up their asses. Big10/pac said 9-10 conference games, end of story. Let’s align our testing protocols, etc. ACC has their hands tied because notre dame would have to essentially join for the season and the sec got all pissed off, acted like a bunch of babies because they had to actually play teams in their conference (the horror) and the big 10 said **** this we are doing it, you all can do whatever you want to. That is why the reports came out that the big 10 was annoyed with the cooperation of other conferences because I think we all know what that means.
$10 says that the SEC keeps one of those games per team and increases their payout to them in order for them to test their players 1-2 times in the weeks prior to their game.
It just means more!
Agreed, but I guess the argument is about non-con P5 games where the other programs do have the resources. The in-state ACC/SEC matchups you mentioned earlier probably present a "safer" matchup than a cross state conference matchup.
Yeah this is why I think we probably still end up playing CSU
IF CSU has the same resources. The difference is that they aren't P5, so maybe that's a non-starter.
I think it completely depends on the conference. I think they will all handle this differently sort of like how different states handle it differently so it might not be as easy as it seems. To sliders point below, I don’t see that one happening because the pac will want more bye weeks for scheduling and csu doesn't have the same resources as pac 12 schools to administer the protocols.
i do agree that the in state matchups between P5 schools is probably about the same as an in conference game though, but these conferences will probably want complete control.

It’s working.
I don’t care if it’s working or not it’s stupid.
I think the biggest thing that will scratch the CSU game is the fact there will be no gate. That game being a sellout each year is the only thing that keeps it worthwhile.

Pac-12 student-athletes who choose not to participate in intercollegiate athletics during the coming academic year because of safety concerns about COVID-19 will continue to have their scholarships honored by their university and will remain in good standing with their team.

Lots of legal folks weighing in (On Twitter) on contracts and whether or not they have to pay smaller schools. Not simple.
I assume the first defense on the contract canceletions is the force majeure clause.
I’m sure they will have to pay part of it, but not all.

I really wanted that game to happen just so we didn't have to postpone a more attractive out of conference matchup we're scheduled to play later this year. If we can't get the conference's backing to play it, what's the buyout?
It would be shocking if these contracts were lacking a force majeure clause.
