Transmission help

2009 Mini Cooper

100,000 miles, manual transmission. With the engine running, when the clutch is released, it sits like it is in neutral. Does not even try to move. With the engine running I can run through the gears without the clutch and I hear no grinding. The shifter feels normal, not tight, not sloppy. Any ideas?? Please help.

Something really big is broken...or, your clutch plate is not touching the fly wheel. Does the clutch pedal feel normal?
