This could all be BS but I think there is a lot of fighting going on behind closed doors. I'd love to see smug & clueless Warren go back out and say they are attempting a college football season. If players are threatening to leave and parents are threatening lawsuits I could see them giving in.
The Big 10 conference is reconsidering possibly having a football season this year, in response to worries of players bolting to other conferences or to the NFL, per source.

This is in response to Ohio State putting pressure on the B1G saying they would join the SEC this year as well. Nebraska is threatening to join the ACC for good also. So there is an emergency meeting today in to try and prevent this.

Source: B1G officials just met. Ohio State, Nebraska, Iowa and Michigan are set on playing this fall. Illinois and Northwestern are only schools that are not thinking about playing.
If Big Ten doesn’t have football, teams will be allowed to join other leagues.

Main reason for the call btw was that Ohio State and Nebraska will play elsewhere if the B1G does not have a season

Purdue is moving forward as if they are playing a fall season, per source.

B1G commissioner Kevin Warren scrapped the idea of Big Ten teams playing in the ACC and the Big 12, per source.
Warren is working with B1G presidents to reverse his original idea and see if they are able to have a conference season this fall.

What I know about B1G and college football as of now:
-Some Big Ten teams are threatening to go play in the ACC and Big 12 if there is no conference season
-Commissioner Warren thus is trying to have a Big Ten season to prevent this as well as legal action from players' parents
— Sir Yacht (@SirYacht) August 17, 2020
The teams that are the most vocal are Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, and Iowa.
Everybody from the presidents, the athletic directors, to the parents and players, are pissed with how Commissioner Kevin Warren has handled this.
— Sir Yacht (@SirYacht) August 17, 2020
The talks are real. The B1G wants to have a season. It might not happen, but they are doing everything they can to have a season so teams like Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska and Iowa don’t leave.

For people that think i'm lying or backtracking, I am not.
The B1G is trying to have a football season now. Everybody wants to and Commissioner Warren realizes he messed up. Several teams are pushing to play in the ACC and Big 12 this year if the Big Ten does not have a season
— Sir Yacht (@SirYacht) August 17, 2020
Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren is “hoping to God” the other conferences cancel their college football seasons, otherwise he’s going to have to let the B1G play, per source.
Things are getting really ugly behind the scenes.
— Sir Yacht (@SirYacht) August 17, 2020
In a shocking turn of events, unless there is a drastic outbreak of cases in the next few days, the B1G will resume their college football season this fall, per source.
Expect an announcement later this week that the Big Ten will be playing again.
— Sir Yacht (@SirYacht) August 17, 2020
And now this
An attorney I respect who long worked inside college football programs predicts that the pressure from parents, players and some schools will result in Big Ten reconsidering its cancellation of fall sports. COVID-19 might force re-cancellation but expects a second chance. 1/

I don’t have a clue who Mr Yacht is here but... I think the “Pluck the schools from the leagues that ain’t playing” thing MIGHT HAVE SOME LEGS AGAIN https://t.co/4yyF7VyHHf
