If I had to guess, we all know Michigan and Wisconsin need to play, and so does Penn State. Indiana and Purdue too. Rutgers is out. I’m involved in Michigan and Maryland because of their COVID outbreaks. So if someone from Minnesota, Illinois or the Northwest says yes, we’re in a position to go. Just one guess, but I think the votes are there.

1:54 p. m. Sunday: Only by calculating the calendar, if the Big Ten make the decision to play an eight-game schedule starting October 17, week 8 will take place on Saturday, December 5, is the date of the Big Ten championship game at this time. A week ago and everything’s okay?
Also note that the Big Ten schedule, which only for convention games, 10 games, six in the department and 4 more, would now be just two cross games. Suppose the Indiana-Purdue game remains intact, there would only be another big ten west enemy.

“Sources tell me they are waiting for a vote among all the presidents and chancellors of the Big Ten. I don’t know exactly what they will vote on or what the final results will be. . . But without a doubt, OSU needs to play on OctoberArray. . . We’ll see how it goes’.
