The Big Ten has released a modified ten-gam conference-only schedule in the hopes to play football during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren sat down with Big Ten Network on Wednesday to discuss the release and challenges associated with playing football during a global pandemic.
Notable in the schedule release is that the conference has kept the start of the season as the week of September 3. Some conference have moved back the start date of their seasons. Warren says keeping the start date the same is to, “give (the conference) maximum flexibility.”
All Big Ten teams have two bye weeks and an open date at the end of the season to allow for rescheduling.
Warren also confirmed camps are set to begin on Friday.
