With the lawsuits being pushed by the Nebraska players and now Neb. AG, there has to be a dialogue between the parties to drop the cases, no? Or would that not hold up?

I agree with you, but with all-conference games, it lessens the liabilities of facing teams outside the Big Ten.

If the weather holds up, facing teams outside would be nice.  I think.

I get the need to hold the line but there may be 'territorial' problems with this.  For example NJ has some of the worst Covid stats in the world.  Something could go wrong in NJ or the state gov could effectively forbid it.  So why should Rutgers be forced to play football with the midwestern teams who aren't in the same boat?  And really, I think your conference can last one football season without them.

I think we could last every season without them

Unless one of those big 10 teams lives somewhere with big covid numbers, it shouldn’t be that hard to setup a replacement non con game with testing procedures to match big 10 requirements. 

If they want to require everyone move forward then fine. You can opt out of every game but it gets logged as a forfeit and you lose your tv revenue share for that game 

 
Would not surprise me one bit if this actually came to be...

Big Ten has "randomly" selected the follow 8 game 2020 schedule for the Nebraska Cornhuskers to start in mid October:

@Penn State

@Wisconsin

Iowa

@Michigan

Ohio State

Michigan State

@Northwestern

Minnesota

lets say Rutgers team plane crashed on the way to their first game of a normal season.  Does the rest of the Big 10 stop playing?  I don't think they do.  That would be a tragedy and way worse than a few kids getting covid and having to sit out 14 days.  The all or none approach is stupid and I feel its just a way to not have a season.

If it's all teams play or no teams play, and they are serious about starting either in October or November, why wouldn't they release schedules?  If it's conference games only and all teams would be playing, there's no reason not to set up the schedules so everyone knows what to expect....when/if they ever do play.
