I think its just fans and others on social media saying they should cancel the season. It'd be virtually impossible for them to cancel the season from a legal and monetary standpoint.
If they did can someone else get their cakewalk of a schedule? Might be the easiest in the P5.

Well, now that Northwestern is no longer the only private school in the conference, their usefulness to the Big 10 might have just run out.

Au contraire mon frere. My rock solid source is Heather Burnside.

Would anything have happened to Fitzgerald if they had won the B1G title last year?
In Iowa City, you get a raise and extension for this kind of behavior regardless of winning the West or not.

It would be interesting to see what the Big 10 would do to replace Northwestern in the unlikely event that they decide sports just isn't their thing anymore.

Universidad Internacionale de Mexico. Millions of TV viewers in that region. Just like Rutgers and Maryland.

Seriously? I can't fathom a school doing that unless they've had some sort of mass revolt of players.

Yep even if you're taking Ls it's better to play. With the turmoil they've been thru their fan base expectations will be low. IMO.
