Stanford eliminates 11 of 36 varsity sports & Ivy League announces no Fall sports.
The dominoes are starting to fall. We will not have CFB this Fall, but none of the good teams want to admit it first and lose their recruits.

Why would they lose the recruits since everyone else is in the same boat? Would they just sit out a
year since they don't like the academic side?

Because of the risk of a gap between the first and others. During that time, they are afraid
recruits will jump to the competitors. i don't expect it to bother ND much, but teams like Alabama, Clemson, and OSU are worried about eachother and what their conferences will do. If the NCAA were worth anything, they would make an announcement.

The NCAA cant make the call on football.
Its up to the conferences, I understand. But I may be wrong.

Well, functionally this is true because the conferences will leave and form a new organization, but
they could do this and enforce it IF they were credible and had leverage.
