The Big 12 and ACC are certainly finding it tough week in and week out, with Notre Dame being the latest.
Will the SEC and/or Big Ten have a better road in 2020?
Hopefully, for the Big Ten, at least.

I hope you are right about the result of having daily testing but some teams lack the discipline to avoid being in situations that can give them the virus. I hope all the teams stay clean this fall and the season goes well.im saying 8 only because the big ten is the only conference testing daily which could help prevent spread by immediately quarantining the day someone tests positive
That is the single most petty thing I could conceive of a collection of college sports program doing to another.I know there is a system and verification to the testing numbers. However suppose Teams found a way around that and could report Higher numbers. Let's say every team that is scheduled to play Ohio State suddenly develops high numbers the week before they are Scheduled to play and has to postpone. Suppose OSU gets to the end of the season with a 0-0 Record. How does anyone have a basis to rate them in the BCS or Bowl Hierarchy?
I don't want to see programs be cowards and do this, I prefer teams, a couple at least, beat them on the field.That is the single most petty thing I could conceive of a collection of college sports program doing to another.
AND. I. FREAKING. WANT. TO SEE IT.
Lighten up man. No one is going to be ducking games out of cowardice. And there's not going to be any B1G conspiracy to deprive OSU of its season with the 'ol Blue Flu. Obviously.I don't want to see programs be cowards and do this, I prefer teams, a couple at least, beat them on the field.
I'd think about making two rules changes: (1) every team must cancel a game if they can't field a team in whole or in part because of COVID, and (2) any team that cancels a game because of (1) must forfeit the game cancelled.

I would just add in what percentage of the team must miss to forfeit a game.I'd think about making two rules changes: (1) every team must cancel a game if they can't field a team in whole or in part because of COVID, and (2) any team that cancels a game because of (1) must forfeit the game cancelled.
The reason for these rules is to provide an addtional incentive for teams to keep COVID under control.

We should have revisited this theory weeks ago.......I know there is a system and verification to the testing numbers. However suppose Teams found a way around that and could report Higher numbers.
