Most college conferences that normally compete in 15s in the fall have announced that they will suspend their seasons.
The Big Ten and Liberty conferences haven't officially-officially made that announcement, but we're fairly confident that they will.
The conferences that have not announced their status are generally smaller-division groups that are in more southern states, where COVID lockdowns are a bit more of a question. Most of these conferences are also populated by student-run teams.
It is possible we'll see some 15s this fall with the Services Academies (including the Merchant Marine Academy and US Coast Guard Academy) have a tentative green light to at least train. We might see one or two other teams play a few games. But that is probably it.
