How could Power Five conferences play football this fall, even if other leagues don’t?

We’re far from out of the woods yet — both with regard to coronavirus and college football’s abilities to have a season despite the growing concerns around it across the United States. Yet, the Power Five conferences do be making a concerted effort to try and get on the field this fall.

The latest move there comes via a report from SI.com, which shows universal testing standards in the works for all P5 conferences. With these leagues already seemingly moving to conference-only schedules this year, this simply extends things a step further to potentially add non-conference games as well.
