Conferences are about money. No conference, no bowl tie ins, no tv deal, no program.

Who would want Penn State? No bowl wanted to take them last season. No conference will want them after all of this.

The Big 12 doesn't need them. They have their deal with the SEC.

Let the Big East take them. The Big East will still be a nothing conference, with pitiful bowl ties and a rotten TV deal.

Frankly, I don't give a sh!t if they're "OK" with it.

The B1G has an excess of teams. They can work something out vis a vis the schedule.

Interesting thought, just replace with another league game?

Logistically that won't work. 11 remaining teams would mean one would be idle each week and they have not scheduled to fill those idle weeks with non-conference games.

This close to the season barring Penn State from playing would impact the 4 schools scheduled to host them while the other 7 teams in the conference would not be financially impacted. It would probably cost Iowa and Nebraska about 3 million each in lost revenue while teams like Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan St, Wisconsin would not be impacted financially.
 
I can see the B1G going back to schedualing for 11 teams for one or two years while penn st. Serves their penalty (if they get the death penalty). We would see wisconsin again, but they will debate wheather or not to hold a championship game.

This is a huge deal right now. Two years from now? I bet it's a footnote.

Most people are against murdering teenagers too, but no one cares about George Zimmerman anymore. People have short attention spans, the outrage over this will die down by the time football season starts.

Dammit, I responded to this post.
 
No SMU was not allowed to play conference games which marked the beginning of the the end of the Southwest Conference.

Unless I'm mistaken I believe the first season of the death penalty was 1987 and that entire season was cancelled.

During the second season (1988)the NCAA allowed them to play road games. I'm assuming they allowed road contests so their scheduled opponents wouldn't be punished by losing home games. However SMU decided on its own not to play those games because they couldn't field a team.

In 1989 they started playing again but really the damage was done. All of the legit players had left and the long road back began. I think 1991 or 1992 was the first season in which they were able to get their full amount of scholarships back.

I saw SMU play at Notre Dame in the mid 90s. What a massacre.
 
This scandal was purportedly bigger than football, yet Penn State football was in no way obstructed. The Nebraska game, mere days afterward, proceeded as scheduled, with a silent prayer only a momentary delay. It fell to Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini to provide a voice of reason heard nowhere at Penn State.
I didn’t think the game should have been played, for a lot of different reasons. My job as a football coach is to educate and to prepare the kids that come into the program for the rest of their life and that’s what we are. We’re a university system
The situation that’s going on is bigger than football. It’s bigger than that game we just played. It’s bigger than the young men in the game who would have missed it had they called it off.

Pelini may be a boorish tool but he's got his ethical head screwed on straight.

They gave up 95 points and 517 passing yards in 1989 to Andre Ware and Houston in the first half, 340 in the second quarter alone. Ended up allowing 1,021 yards from scrimmage.

Take that money out of PSU's endowment fund. Bring that school to its knees.
