Now what exactly does this even mean. the spring slate sounds murky, at best:
Adding to that, there must be some traction to the idea of Nebraska to XII/ Penn State to ACC (with Notre Dame), when B1G GoR's expire in 2023.!?
If ACC was able to add Notre Dame/ Penn State to the current 14 member roster, the league would have more future upside (by population trends)...
Would Disney [ESPN] then look to move 2 current XII brands to SEC, make room to raid the best PAC brands..? As TCU- SEC west & WVU- SEC east...
Of note, a Minnesota super fan "Fluguar" has a tweet detailing of B1G 1st & 2nd tier at $34 million, BTN at $8 million, the rest NCAA & bowl credits...
Therefore, Nebraska can add a 3rd tier net the same as at Texas ($15 million) & Oklahoma ($9 million) per season [maybe pull Colorado/ USC too]..?
Rece Davis slams idea of Nebraska, Penn State leaving Big Ten

Thanks to rampant speculation of impending doom within the Big Ten Conference ahead of the 2020 season, several coaches have come out publicly as mouthpieces for players, urging their league to take more time before making a decision on playing this fall. Nebraska's Scott Frost and Penn State's James Franklin this week have both expressed interest in pursuing other options if their conference decides to cancel the season.
"It’s a preposterous notion that either of those two teams can join another conference on a whim for several reasons," College GameDay host Rece Davis said Tuesday on Get Up. "First, it’s not feasible from a scheduling standpoint. Greg Sankey has been the wisest of the leaders trying to extend the runway as we’ve had in college football. What is more likely, while it’s coming from a place of concern about players and wanting to protect the season and advocate for them, I think what Scott Frost and James Franklin and others are tying to do is put a little heat on their presidents to give this a little bit more time and to influence what is said in those meeting rooms without deciding at this point in the calendar year to drop the season.
"Nebraska went to great lengths to join the Big Ten. Penn State prior to that did the same. Would they really be willing to undermine that relationship for the foreseeable future to maybe play a handful of games? I think that’s sort of a ridiculous notion and probably born out of emotion and perhaps trying to influence the vision and perception of their presidents.”
Big Ten presidents and decision-makers are scheduled to meet Tuesday to decide on what to do next — delay, postpone or cancel all games this fall. ESPN reporter Heather Dinich, who spoke with SEC commissioner Greg Sankey on Tuesday, said the SEC's decision won't be impacted by the Big Ten.
"Sankey said the decision of others are information points for us but not determinative," Dinich said on Tuesday. "We are today where we were Friday and we’ve put in place a responsible plan."

Desmond Howard called Frost's comments "offensive" and said there's no way Nebraska or Penn State would leave the Big Ten to play this season.
"When I first heard it, I thought it was absurd," If I'm Kevin Warren, I'm getting on the phone to talk to the president of Nebraska and tell him we can't have your coach using this roguish-type language. Nebraska is getting $40 to $50 million a year no matter what they're record is. I don't think Nebraska is ready to cut that check just to go play 10 or 12 football games this season."
