How can you judge the advantage or disadvantage of independence based on this season? This season may not even play out for a single cfb team. This season may fill up with games against big12 opponents. We don't know yet. Even people "in the know" don't know yet.

MLB may very likely shut down the season because 1 team had a covid outbreak and another team had a few guys test positive. You really think 128 some odd programs are going to make it 10-12 games without getting shut down?

It's premature to say "we don't have any friends in cfb because look at this season."

We certainly wouldn't be better off in the mwc.
