College football 2020 offseason thread

I doubt they'd ever do it, but if ...
A) This works
B) Is a financial success, since they might have the stage to themselves
C) There are still some national COVID concerns heading into next summer that jeopardize a second college football season ...
Then it'd be interesting to see if the SWAC might try to become a spring football league. They and the MEAC -- which is quickly circling the drain -- already exist in their own little world outside the NCAA football bubble. They don't compete in the FCS playoffs, and the conference title and HBCU national title is their goal. Which means that if they're OK sticking to their own thing, they don't necessarily need teams outside the conference to put together a season.
This is just spitballing, of course. There would be huge logistical issues in regards to signing players, scheduling non-conference games, competing with other sports for resources, etc. But they might be uniquely situated to do something completely out of left field.

I know this will elicit howls, but you could argue that allowing athletes but few others to remain on campus constitutes an extra benefits problem. The extra benefits test has always been to determine if the benefit is available to the student body at large. In UNC's case, they say international students, those with technological issues at home and others who meet unspecified other criteria will be able to stay on campus. But is that enough to comply with the rules?
And if the answer is "It's a pandemic so we'll led it slide," then the next question must be: Because of it's a global health emergency, will you waive the normal time-based eligibility rules?"
