With Big 10 cutting off all Non Conference games, other conference’s will surely follow.
What happens to Army, BYU, UCONN, UMass, NMSU, Liberty?

Double round robin between the 6 of them?

I could see BYU working something out with the MWC/Big 12/PAC 12, the big 10 is rumored to be allowing 1 P5 OOC game.

Maybe the others try to find a similar deal, Army/UConn/UMass play MAC opponents, Liberty plays Sun Belt teams, and NMSU is maybe offered something by the MWC?

Liberty could actually be in a tougher spot, if Falwell continues to try to defy the state's orders.

The ACC is cancelling non conference games too. However, they are taking care of Notre Dame.

I expect at least 6 ACC teams will be looking for an extra game.

The ACC only has 8 conference games

They’ll just play more ACC opponents. 15 of them this year counting ND.

Worst-case scenario (if a season even happens) they play each other. It's too late in the process to affect TV deals or recruiting, and fans weren't going to be allowed regardless, so it may actually be no big deal.

There will not be any fall sports. Students will not be back on campus. Clay Travis will blow a gasket and throw a tantrum of all tantrums!

They could do that If ND counts in the conference standings. Can't have some with 8 league games and some with 9. Not sure if they would do that. We'll see. The extra game vs ND or a 9th ACC game could also be a no count game.

Exactly like Wake vs NCSU. Make a no count game.

Frankly for bowl eligibility...I would not mind playing one G5 game

RE: Will Independent’s be able to play football this season?
I'd invite BYU to the AAC to play in our conference schedule. But obviously in exchange for permanent FB-only membership. At worst, I'd probably agree to a Notre Dame-like deal with BYU playing 6 AAC games and participating in the AAC bowl pool.
