One reason is so that the conference can have uniform procedures as far as distancing, PPE, sanitation, etc.

Another reason is that it's a heck of a lot easier to shuffle games around if some need to be cancelled due to covid. OOC games are generally governed by legal contracts. The conference office can move a conference game around or cancel it any time they want to.

Another reason to do conference-only is that OOC games are meaningless as far as divisional champion selection is concerned, and the most important thing to a lot of people is to pick a conference champion in December.

Anyone who watches or supports any sports that pushes the blm communism/anti-Americanism and any other political BS is supporting anti-Americanism. The hell with any sports that stoops so low. There are many other things more enjoyable in life than to watch these cretins disrespect and insult the United States.

Yeah but the social distancing rules on the lines, in the backfield and between receivers and DBs are REALLY going to affect the game!

Well your first and last reasons do not seem to be very different from what could happen NCAA-wide. Your second reason may make sense. I don’t know much about the legalities and contracts. I guess I’m still tongue-in-cheek about the whole thing.
