Well, boot them and let a real conference champion take their place in the playoffs.
I think they deserve to be National Champs, even if they don't play another game. It's only right.

So sick of those bastards constantly changing the rules
Welcome to the B1G Conference, the land where rules are rules unless they get in our way then "We don't need no stinkin' rules."
Maybe... Maybe Northwestern could actually- win?
Remember how the Big 12 was just so bad because it bent the rules for Texas? The Big Ten wouldn't do something like that, though.
I can't imagine how pissed Indiana fans are. Your team did all the right things and your conference just says "nope" and puts in a team that didn't manage the pandemic at all.
Ohio State will still be ranked 4th because of the eye test when they have all of their players
Lol. Ohio State to the playoffs without the Conference title game. This is going to be some awesome mental gymnastics
I was seriously feeling upset potential before this news.
We're only months from the B1G being holier than thou because they are looking out for player safety.
They've rewritten their rules A LOT since then.
Sounds like it's a WR (Chris Olave or Garrett Wilson probably) plus a few others (presumably non-starters). I'm assuming they have some more testing before Saturday, but it would take quite a few more positive tests to put the game in jeopardy.
B1G is basically "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
If one of those two are out that’s a big deal. If BOTH were out that would be huge for NWs chances.
Listen, I think changing the rule was wrong, however, Indiana got to play them. Had they not played them, then I think they'd have a better case but Indiana didn't do all the things they needed.
OSU is also not going to be forthcoming about this stuff. No way.
dont kid yourself. The B16 would just say it was an exhibition game and that it didn't count.
Side note: I am sure all those 5 and 4 star players they have can fill in just fine, since the keep passing the eye test.
This just in from the Big 10 Offices.
"Due to the Covid-19 outbreak at Ohio State University the Big 10 is concerned that Northwestern University will have its team at full strength while Ohio State will be missing key players due to this unfortunate development.
To even the playing field, depending on how many OSU starters are affected, the Big 10 has modified how points will be scored in the CCG. OSU touchdowns will now be scored as 12 points. Field goals will count for 6 points. PATs are now designated as 3PATs and will count for 3 points. Upward adjustments may be made if even more OSU starters are out.
Northwestern points scored (if any) will be tallied in the standard 6, 3, and one values."
