If you read the headline, you probably thought it was another coronavirus cancellation. We’re sorry about that, but we can confirm that’s not the case — the exact opposite rather.
Now that we know the Ohio State football team will be playing in Indianapolis Saturday against Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship game, a quick look at the calendar tells you there was a potential conflict. Not only is the big one in Indy happening on December 19, but so too is the Ohio State basketball game against the North Carolina Tar Heels.
We know the Big Ten Championship is slotted for Noon EST, and the CBS Sports Classic game OSU hoops was to play in was scheduled for 2:00 p.m. EST. Say what? That’s bad news to have to choose between the two.
Don’t worry, you no longer have to. That’s because per an announcement by the folks that are in charge of these things, the OSU vs. UNC basketball game has now been moved to 4:15 p.m EST, which should give all you Buckeye fans the ability to watch both.
This morning, organizers for the CBS Sports Classic announced a revised game schedule for the 2020 event, which is set for Dec. 19.
UCLA will take on Kentucky at 2pm ET and will be followed by North Carolina and Ohio State at approximately 4:15pm.https://t.co/6BEK7lWoMG

Whew!
Hopefully, it’s a twin victory for the two biggest revenue sports and we can all go to bed happy and forward-looking towards Christmas less than a week later.
