The crucial timeline to make a decision, in my opinion, is July 12. Why? typically it takes a minimum of 7 weeks to get a team ready to play. Seven weeks from July 12 is THE START OF THE SEASON. Now, if we do have a "disjointed" season where a, let's assume, a Big 10 school has 6 games scheduled because many decided not to reopen, would this not be a perfect time for your school to be Entrepreneurial and play "X" Big 10 named school even if the only thing you get out of it is t.v. time and nothing else? My point is, just like the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919, many colleges shrank to insignificance because they closed down much similar to today.
