I was reading there are some conflicting reports about that, but wouldn't be surprised if they actually did shut it down. I wonder how much of it is due to COVID vs. players trying to organize. Probably a combination.
I expect other conferences will follow, but I don't think Spring works. A lot more players will opt out due to NFL combine and proximity to draft, need to compete with college basketball, 2 seasons within the same year, etc. Not to mention there is no guarantee COVID will be any better in the Spring than Fall. Also hard to see how a national championship will work if some teams play in Fall and others in the Spring. If I had to bet, I'd say season will just get cancelled if 2-3 Power 5 conferences shut it down.
