None. Kev Warren did say that he would check to see what Alvarez wants

The NCAA likely is going to wait until all the conferences make a decision. It's a mess if conferences are going different ways but I would assume they'd give those players that didn't play an extra year assuming they also don't play in the Spring. For seniors with NFL prospects it won't make much of a difference, they're gone.

It'll be interesting to see how they address scholarship limits. If we lose a year of recruiting, there will be no way to catch up. The entirety of our current recruiting class is gone unless some of our seniors decide to just graduate and leave.

regardless what restrictions are put on players transferring/coming back, you can be sure the same won't apply to coaches.

plenty of guys out there who now have 6 months to freelance for NFL teams as advisors for a pretty penny.

If only the Big Ten and Pac 12 cancel, there will be no adjustments to the eligibility. The NCAA didn't tell the leagues to cancel, they did that on their own. Now if the NCAA comes out and says there will be no fall sports, as they did in the spring, then you will see an adjustment to eligibility.

I would say if nothing else, there’s a high probability that the players could get a medical red-shirt regardless if the NCAA cancels or not.

It’s not like basketball, where you are adding maybe 2 or 3 more guys.

Adding 25 more freshman which would make 110 scholarships is difficult. This isn’t fair to the underclassmen who’ve waited for their turn on the depth charts. Not fair to the seniors to take away their last season. There’a no good answer.

Warren and the B1G showed extreme incompetence. To say all of this happened all of a sudden is ridiculous. COVID hit mid-march. Why wasn’t there plans set in place? Good leaders set up plans to act and react to situations. College football has way too much money and popularity involved to play the “see what happens game”.

And this is what executives due all day everyday. Plan. And don’t don’t say it’s unexpected. We’ve known about Covid for half a year now.
