Big Ten Football

  • The plan is for Big Ten institutions to play a 10-game Conference-only schedule including the nine current opponents and one additional cross-division game
  • The schedule starts as early as the weekend of Sept. 5 with final games slated for Nov. 21 to align with academic calendars
  • The 10 games would be played over at least 12 weeks with each team having two open dates
  • The schedule is structured to maximize flexibility:
    • Games can be collapsed into bye weeks
    • Uniform bye week on Nov. 28
    • Cross-division games are currently scheduled for all schools in Week 1 (Sept. 5) and Week 12 (Nov. 21)
    • Schedule constructed in a way that allows season to start as early as the weekend of Sept. 5, but also provides the ability to move the start of the season back to Sept. 12, 19 or 26 through strategic sequencing that allows games to be moved to a latter part of the schedule
  • Big Ten Football Championship Game remains scheduled for Dec. 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, though it could be moved as late as Dec. 19
  • Teams can begin preseason practices on Friday, Aug. 7, or earlier if permitted under NCAA guidelines related to first dates of scheduled competition

When looking at scheduling the additional game, a balanced quality of the East division crossovers for West teams was clearly not considered.

It is so weird having Ohio St. as the last game of the season. I bet you that hasn't happen all that much in history if at all. Now will we end up playing it, who knows? I hope so.

The last thing I want is to play OSU in a game where they need "style points" to either get into the playoff or improve their ranking in the playoff. It has the potential to be one of those 70-3 type of games and I talked A LOT of shit to OSU fans after that glorious game in 2017.

I get what you are saying, but Iowa is no Nebraska. I can't recall the last time Iowa got pasted in a conference game. On a side note, UCONN, an FBS Independent has cancelled their season.

If the game is played, I have no idea how well we will play this year. But, we have traditionally played OSU very well under KF, even at their house.
 

I liked the request for complimentary access to BTN for their families. Definitely fits the criteria for a "common sense proposal".
 
Maybe a rumor, but WI may have announced no fans at Camp Randall. Can Rob or someone check this out?
