Is anyone else concerned that the NCAA will step in and/or conference presidents will pull the plug. 

The number of games being cancelled due to covid is growing exponentially each week. Although these kids are recovering to my knowledge,  the thought of having someone not recovering may be enough to take action. The cancellations are bringing to the forefront what many presidents were worried about. I personally feel as if we get another 2 weeks of the cancellations doubling, the season will be in major jeopardy. 

Would love to get a win prior to then. 

 
Honestly think the SEC, ACC and Big 12 would just keep pushing the season out..likely just cancel spring ball in place of a 20-21 season

With Covid rates increasing (as is testing) playing a college sport right now is the safest spot to be.  Mandatory testing, great trace testing, treatment, protocols with EKG, blood tests etc.....Regular students or general population get it, good luck.  Not a lot of programmed in follow ups.  not to the extent student athletes get.

The scene at Notre Dame with all the fans storming the field doesn't help.  Not when the campus had a outbreak in progress.  The national optics of that look really bad.  And it actually makes the Big Ten look smart for not allowing any attendance at their games.

Although part of me would appreciate the irony if Notre Dame's fans cause their team to have to cancel games/have key players missing (just like Clemson did against them), resulting in a loss which eliminates them from the playoff.

 
One thing is for sure, if any conferences do decide to cancel the remainder of the season, the B1G will be the first in line. If tOSU happens to get a 3rd game cancelled, that'll be the end for sure.

 
It's not the fans in the stands that cause problems, realistically. It's the players and staff interacting with the public that is the real problem.

Fans are in the stands for maybe four hours a week. The rest of the time the players are going to class, bars, stores, or whatever. You can't control the spread when you have that kind of interaction. Literally thousands of entry points for the virus to those teams.
