In case you haven’t heard, there’s a pretty important presentation going on today in the Big Ten that will hopefully lead to a potential vote to start the football season sometime in October. That presentation is being put on by the Big Ten Medical Subcommittee and is being shown to the Big Ten Steering Committee.
That’s a lot of committee speak, and you may be wondering who is on all of these hard-working decision making bodies that could impact your plans this fall and whether or not Ohio State football is a part of it.
Well, thanks to the wonder of the internet and Twitter, we know who all is involved in these sorts of things. The Big Ten released information on who all is taking part on these committees and there’s a decent Ohio State flavor to it.
The following OSU ties are on all of the folks working hard to bring Big Ten football to a television set or streaming device near you soon.
Big Ten Steering Committee
- Ohio State President Kristina Johnson
Medical Committee and Executive Committee
- Ohio State doctor Jim Borchers
Football Scheduling Committee
- Ohio State head coach Ryan Day
TV Subcommittee
- Ohio State AD Gene Smith
The presidential steering committee is led by Northwestern's Morton Schapiro, who also chairs the #B1G's overall council of presidents/chancellors. Also includes presidents or chancellors from Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Rutgers, Ohio State, Illinois and Michigan State.

Let’s hope this thing goes somewhere today. If you hear rumblings of a vote tomorrow, then that means things are moving in the right direction.
