If a handful of the B10 teams were to break away i think them joining an established conference is not likely if for no other reason than right now they have no incentive to help them
So purely hypothetical but lets say OSU, Neb, Iowa, UM and PSU decide F this lets play and push back to Oct 1 to start.
So who has open dates? The Independents
Open dates by school
Army - Oct 3, 10, 17,31, and Nov 7
BYU - Oct 3, 10, 31 and Nov 7, 14 and 21
NM St - Oct 10, 17, 31 and Nov 7,14 and 21
So if those 5 bail, they play each other for 4 games and schedule each of these teams in open dates to get to 7 games,,,
Viable???
