All I know is, if one of the Big Ten schools picked up a freebie win because some other Big Ten school forfeited so that they could play a non-conference game, as an Illinois fan, I’d be pretty pissed.

Aw, hell. You stole my joke. O-H!

However if the NCAA canceled the Michigan game and made Delaware forfeit the NCA&T game - or made them play NCA&T and return the check - I’d consider that just, and very, very funny.

NCA&T is losing ticket sales and concession revenues. The town’s businesses are losing restaurant, bar, and hotel revenues.
