Things are still fluid, but we now know that the Pac-12, Big Ten, Mid-American Conference, and Mountain West will not be playing college football in the fall. We also know that there are six other FBS conferences that are moving full speed ahead with intentions of bringing football games to you on your favorite television or streaming device. Those include three of the Power Five conferences, the ACC, Big 12, and SEC.
With all that in mind, it’s interesting to look at a map of the states that have FBS teams playing vs. the ones that don’t. In the case of Ohio for instance, it’s mostly a no-go, but Cincinnati is still looking to play, so that can be technically considered a mixed bag.
Other states though are mostly either fully on-board or have completely shut things down for the fall. There are of course some states that just don’t have FBS programs so they get the typical, overused shade of gray.

We’re not saying this has some clear things to call out here, we’re just passing the memo along. The bigger question is what this will look like in the spring?
Also, I know what you’re thinking — cut poor Brett McMurphy a little bit of slack on this one eh?
