The B1G made the rule up on the fly so why shouldn't they rescind it?
Penix Jr. is out for the season, IU's having COVID issues themselves (B1G schools usually miss multiple weeks), and o$u is the best team in the conference (barely).
If IU can't go and o$u is arbitrarily ruled ineligible, should they cancel the CCG or let Maryland, who would be the next eligible team, play in it? At that point, it wouldn't even be for a conference championship. If they have to reschedule the CCG then they can also reschedule The Game, which is the biggest revenue draw for the conference, and o$u would then be eligible anyway.
So who really cares? The conference will receive an additional payout for having a team in the playoff and o$u will be sacrificed to Crimson Tide for our amusement. That will be the end of it.
Heard that narrative before
