• Whether the NCAA’s fall championship slate is played won’t be decided for 10 more days (at least), and while that doesn’t directly impact football, it could still be a tell.

• OU moved its opener to Aug. 29 so it will have five weeks to play three games which will … help with testing? I don’t know if this is notable other than it shows how easy it is to move dates and games around in a short amount of time. Hopefully OSU can do the same with its opener.

• This article on what the Big 12 is actually going to do is pretty fascinating on a number of levels, but this was my biggest takeaway.

The league is also looking at a “plus-one” model, whereby the league would play its regular nine conference games plus one additional non-conference game. It’s thought the Big 12 would partner with the SEC to help fill out an entire slate if that happened. [Oklahoman]

• Why ESPN should air JUCO games this spring.

• Sobering read here from Bill Haisten on fan attendance and what all of this means for athletics revenue. Best case: Schools recover in a few years. Worst case: … you don’t want to know.
