BYU needs to play. Big Sky would lose 2 football affiliates and 3 all sports.
WAC would lose 2.
WCC would only have BYU left.
GNAC in D2 would be down to 5.
Hawaii-Hilo, Hawaii Pacific and Chaminade would need a home for a season.

Hawaii is more restricted right now than just about anywhere else. If California schools don't play football this fall, I don't see anyway that Hawaii does.

Hawaii has the virus under better control than just about anywhere else (lowest death rate and second lowest infection rate in the US). After an eight week total shutdown we reopened non-essential businesses, beaches and many other activities two days ago.

Where Hawaii remains strict is in controlling incoming visitors. Currently everyone arriving in the state is subject to a two-week mandatory quarantine, which has pretty much suspended tourism. Hopefully by the fall that will have changed to a 100% testing requirement for incoming visitors that keeps most if not all infectious travelers from even getting on the plane. If that kind of control can be effectively instituted then the university and its athletic programs will almost certainly reopen in the fall.
