Northern Illinois Athletic Director Sean Frazier was pretty blunt in talking about a fall season.

Then, three hours after the MAC’s announcement, Bretty McMurphy dropped this bombshell on Twitter.

Power 5 source to @Stadium: “College football season is done. I don’t think everyone immediately follows MAC, but it gives other league presidents 1 more reason to make an easier decision. Biggest thing is unknown long-term impact of COVID & liability issues involved”

As expected, no Power 5 schools have made any commitment to moving the football season yet. However, the Big Ten decided to slow down their football practice plans.

Big Ten will not proceed to padded practices, instead remain w/helmets only. Big Ten: “We understand there are many questions regarding how this impacts schedules, as well as the feasibility of proceeding forward with the season at all”
