Well I'll be jiggered and stand corrected, the Big 10 postpones all Fall sports including football.
One thing I have noticed is that the two Power 5 leagues that have called off football have members primarily in blue states and the three that still plan on playing have most of its members in red states.
Pac-12 has 9 members (Cal, Colorado, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Washington, Washington State) in solid blue states, 2 members (Arizona, Arizona State) in a purple (but shifting blue) state, and only 1 member (Utah) in a solid red state.
Big 10 has 5 members (Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Northwestern, Rutgers) in solid blue states, 5 members (Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin) in purple states, and 4 members (Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Purdue) in solid red states.
The Big 12 has 10 members and all of them are in traditionally solid red states, although Texas might be shifting toward purple.
The SEC's 14 members are mostly in solid red states, with the exception of Florida and Georgia, which are purple states.
The ACC has 3 members (Clemson, Louisville, Notre Dame*) in solid red states, 8 members (Duke, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami (FL), North Carolina, NC State, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest) in purple stares, and 4 members (Boston College, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech) in solid blue states.
