Believe it or not, money wasn't the determining factor, T-Bone. The social justice warrior/new B1G Commissioner, along with 11 liberal college Presidents, prematurely canceled the season, willing to forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars to advance their political agenda. But parents of Nebraska football players filed suit against the B1G, and, by doing so, became entitled to information and records (discovery) related to the reasons for the decision to cancel the season, and the decision-makers didn't want their dirty secrets revealed, so they formulated a plan to allow the season to be played, in exchange for the parents' promise to drop the lawsuit.
