Jon’s Postlife Crisis: Matt Brown - Big Ten Non-Conference Schedule Effects On Smaller Schools

This episode I am joined by my former SBNation boss, Matt Brown, who now writes a “freemium” newsletter and as of today announces a new venture.
Matt Brown, author of the Extra Points newsletter, and Daniel Libit, founder/editor of The Intercollegiate, have announced a partnership that will merge their creative entities under a new company, The Collegiate Model, LLC (h/t the NCAA). The new collaboration, which will operate under the editorial banner of The Intercollegiate, will commence July 13.

Matt and I discuss:

The Big Ten’s announcement of playing conference-only games.

Whether Big Ten schools can get out of their non-conference game contracts and whether or not they should show some diplomacy towards those opponents they might not want to pay.

Is the Covid virus an “Act of God”? What is force majeure?

Why should I, as a Nebraska fan, care whether or not the Group of Five schools are hurt by financial difficulties?

Will there be college football?

What’s with this undercurrent of fans who want college football to be more ordered like the NFL? Don’t they know you cannot create order from chaos?

Is life without risk? Why are we in this position?
