scenario where other teams from other conferences join becoming super conferences able to compete for a national championship.
I know this all sounds crazy but what do you do as a university if your current conference doesn't want to play in the fall and you do?

There are some tantalizing clues.

From ESPN 8-10-2020

Scott Frost says Nebraska 'prepared to look at any and all options,' including playing outside Big Ten

Nebraska football coach Scott Frost said Monday that the Cornhuskers are prepared to play this upcoming season -- even if it's outside the Big Ten.

"We're a proud member of the Big Ten," Frost said during a Zoom teleconference with reporters. "We want to play a Big Ten schedule. I think the only reason we would look at any other options is if for some reason the Big Ten wasn't playing and only a handful of teams from the Big Ten wanted to continue playing. I think if that's the case, I think we're prepared to look at any and all options."

Clue 2: Barry Alvarez Athletic director at Wisconsin said today the football team will continue to practice 20 hours a week.

Clue 3: The Big 12 will grow a pair and continue to explore playing this fall after the B1G and PAC 12 postponed fall sports.

Like all things follow the money.
