Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 3472563, member: 622"] Not saying this would work, but UNL may be able to argue an impossibility or Act of God as a basis for avoiding a B1G penalty. The GOR assumes the teams play and the games. As the B1G has formally decided against playing (at least for now) the B1G is in a weaker position to enforce the GOR. So long as UNL plays in the B1G in the next regular season, the GOR would not be violated. Though it can be argued that the conference may play in the spring, there is no guarantee, in fact, there is no plan, only speculation. This weakens any claim that the GOR would be violated if UNL, or any other team, plays this fall. While I personally would be content to see the B1G not play, or better yet, perform an about face and play this fall, it is a possibility for a B1G or PAC team. Obviously there are a myriad of other issues, chief among them scheduling games, if a school goes rogue from a non-playing conference could actually play. [/QUOTE]
