Steven M. Sipple: Why idea of spring football is awful; Ferentz fortunate; and Pac-12's mess

Things I know, and things I think I know:

Major League Baseball pushes forward amid a pandemic, thanks to strong and measured leadership by Commissioner Rob Manfred.

College football leaders no doubt watch Manfred's moves closely, although college football's challenges are more extensive if only because there are considerably more teams and people involved.

As the college game's leaders ponder scenarios for the fall, one alternative that I hope they push aside is playing football in the spring. It's an awful idea.

Which is probably why in the Big Ten, there has been virtually zero discussion about moving the season to the spring.
