Play in the spring. Play your games on Saturdays. Hoops plays during the week and Sundays. Very few hoops games on Saturdays. Run the NCAA tourney during the time college is off between the reg season and bowls.
If you need to delay next season till October that’s fine.
I can see games being played in the Spring... but doubt NFL prospects will be in those games.

This is not really correct. As an example the MWC plays most all their basketball games on Saturday not Sunday. Doesn't mean you couldn't run them concurrently but at least here that would be required.
Just dump the bowl games all together. The real value to the schools is the extra practice time. They mostly loose money anyway and if you are playing in the spring then there is little value in extra practices. In fact you could argue its a negative. Players would need some time off before summer run PRP start and fall camps in August.

Gotcha. The problem with playing on Sunday is then trying to travel home and get to class on Monday. May be doable but there is a reason they play on Saturday. Personally I think if they move football to spring they just have to bite the bullet and overlap.

The SEC announced it will still honor scholarships for any student athletes who elect not to participate their fall sports, including football. While it's obviously the right thing to do, I don't see how it alleviates any pressure a player would feel to play if he doesn't feel it's safe from COVID-19.
The conference had a league-wide meeting among ADs this past Monday, but they apparently chose not to do any more than that for now. Greg Sankey even said that schools like Alabama and Texas A&M, who each lost an opponent when the Pac-12 cancelled its non conference games, should be able to schedule new opponents because other teams have faced similar impact from the Big Ten and Pac-12 decisions. [insert pic of ostrich with head in sand]
Meanwhile, UNC HC Mack Brown said on Paul Finebaum's show that it's time for college football to have a commissioner. This pandemic has definitely shone a light on how the disjointed structure in the sport has made responding to the situation all the more difficult.

Detroit Free Press: Michigan State football's entire team will quarantine, isolate over next 14 days
Sparty is one of just a few Big Ten teams that had a conference opponent scheduled to open their season, hosting Northwestern on Sept 5. I would think this would lead to that game being rescheduled for a later week when they both have an opening. Of course, I think this is also an indication that it's going to be extremely difficult for any team to play a 9-10 game season, let alone the typical 12 games.

I'm more confident now than I've been in the past couple weeks that they are going to try to play college football this fall. But I think it's well under 50-50 that they are going to end up playing 9, 10 or however many games they think they are going to play.

Add Rutgers to the list of Big Ten teams (along with Mich State) that are now on 14-day quarantine. 15 players tested positive, and it seems "several" of those cases might be linked to an on-campus party. At least for Rutgers their first scheduled game isn't until Sept 26.

That likely kills the ACC’s 10+1 idea, since many of those were ACC/SEC in-state rivalry games.
