Worst case they’ll put the teams in a bubble and play.

I would think that there would already be some lawsuits over Covid from someone somewhere by now. Maybe I'm missing something. Some lawyer somewhere would be trying to figure out how to make some money off this if they could.

If some conferences play football, and others don't...do they still have bowl games? BCS standings? Crown a National Champ?
I imagine the conferences that play, will have their conference championships...but what is next? I just can't get my head around what the sport will look like with some conferences playing in the fall, some in the spring, some not playing at all. If there isn't a championship, they are just playing for the love of the game and for TV money?

This is already being talked over. The BIG discussing their season being played in Indy. And the entire March Madness being in Indy. Lucas Oil Stadium. 2 courts, Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Hinkle, and a couple large high schools playing continuous games. per Matt Norlander CBS college BBall reporter, on Indy radio this afternoon.

Does the fox Network money still get paid even without games?
I assume the network money is worth more to the universities than ticket sales?

The 2021 NCAA Basketball executives are confident in making sure March Madness happens: https://247sports.com/college/west-v...-19-150205641/
For the Big 12, the commissioners unanimously voted to play (per inside info on the WVU board I pay for), the general consensus from the members of that board (not the moderators, or beat writers for WVU) is that it's an easy decision for the Big 12 to say "yeah we'll play," because it leads to two possible outcomes basically with the other leagues cancelling already: 1. they play, and basically have all of the TV rights, media coverage, etc. leading to funding for the school in a time where it's going to be at record lows, or 2. the cases spike up when students get on campus, causing the schools to shut down and send students home, the commissioners can spin this story as, "look we didn't take football away from you, people outside of our control did," which makes them still appealing to those not so educated fans. Basically they're thinking that this is a great option to try to keep the most important revenue stream happy.
