• College football has changed forever this summer.

• In so many ways.

In anticipation of the NCAA Board of Governors potentially canceling or postponing fall sports championships, Power 5 conference leaders have begun exploring the possibility of staging their own championships in those affected sports, multiple sources have told Sports Illustrated. This could be seen as a first step toward a long-theorized breakaway from the NCAA by the 65 schools that play college sports at the highest level. [Sports Illustrated]

• I can’t envision the Big 12 trying to get 12 games in when nobody else is doing that, but that appears to be on the table.

• More details on those plans here, including the possibility of BYU coming to Stillwater and the likelihood that 10 games will be the direction the Big 12 heads.

• Interesting question here about whether there will be lasting effects from Spencer Sanders’ thumb injury last year.

• Good stuff here on the economic impact on Stillwater of potentially not having a football season.

• How do we feel about how these offers look?
