towards the idea of only conference games this season. Something around a 10-game schedule with schedule flexibility. Might be interesting to follow with reports of a meeting amongst Big Ten brass coming tomorrow (July 9).
Ten-game, Big Ten-only schedule seems likely for 2020
“Yes, it hasn’t been officially decided,” said a Power 5 head coach. “We have a big meeting tomorrow (Thursday, July 9). But, yeah, it just seems to me that probably in the last week and a half, I could just kind of tell from the tone of our leadership that that's the direction that they want it to go and felt most comfortable going. Nothing has been decided. Nothing's official. But I would be surprised if it's not that.”
When could a decision be made on a move from a 12- to a 10-game schedule, with each Big Ten school jettisoning its three non-conference games?
“Probably in the next eight to 10 days,” said the source.
All of this on the heels of UNC and Ohio State announcing suspension of voluntary workouts.
