This Week Around the Sports Illustrated College Network (Aug. 17)

Some conferences are going to play college football in the fall, and some aren't. There's been plenty of great coverage all week from around the country.

Last week saw two Power 5 conferences shut down football, while three others continue to trudge on ... for now. As always, we wanted to highlight some of the other team channels that make up the Sports Illustrated network.

From the Big Ten to the SEC, ACC and Big 12, be sure to check out some of these articles from the past week that were submitted by the sites' publishers.

We will start nationally with the main Sports Illustrated brand, especially within the past couple of days, then go around the Big Ten Conference and continue to branch out from there. 

Special thanks to Jake Kokorowski of AllBadgers.com, our Sports Illustrated Wisconsin channel, for compiling this roundup.
