I didn't see any info in that "article" corroborating the headline.

Lines up nicely for 14 day quarantines before/after the contests.

Yeah, well, I'll see Scott Frost in Hell.

Frost? I heard it was toasty there.

The ACC really stuck it to the Big Ten.
In geopolitical conference power struggle this will be part of the record.

The SEC always equal to the Big Ten.
The PAC-12 is the Big Ten’s follower.

The ACC is likely going to play in the end but they didn’t let the Big Ten bully them.

Who does he think they'll be playing?

The other teams that go against their conference decision.

Theyll embrace anything which will give them an edge in recruiting.

These are the same people who love Medicare but hate government run healthcare. They have no problems with cognitive dissonance.

Well, you have no option at 65, and it's your money anyway, or at least some of it.

We get the much talked about hypothetical- if team A played team B 10 times, team A would x.

Why doesn't the Big10 cancel all fall sports if they are so worried about transmission and the potential of an athlete contracting it.

You have to think that all this will eventually lead to the inevitable conclusion of no football this season. Short of a "bubble scenario" a la the NBA, I can't see how this season gets played. The first case of in-season transmission changes the entire outlook for every conference.
Imagine a coupla players test positive after a game- do you keep playing or do you shut it down for yourself, & all opponents your team has played? And do future opponents on your schedule agree to play you knowing your entire team might've been exposed by said infected player?
Seriously, this all seems like wishful thinking to me. I fully expect a few games will be played, but I can't see a whole season based on what we know now.
