Dan Patrick Show
@dpshow
“From source: If conference can pass updated safety measures and procedures, Big Ten targeting Oct. 10 to start football season.” - Dan Patrick
This came after the president met with B1G commish Kevin Warren. Warren's son plays for Mississippi St and they will be playing in September.
Also:
TV partners have already green-lighted any decision that B1G presidents and Kevin Warren decide on, but bigger networks Fox Sports and ESPN/ABC are also pushing for October start, per source.
Big Ten will only get partial TV revenue if they delay until Thanksgiving or later. [Reply]

The commissioner essentially made a unilateral decision. Several AD's objected but were ignored.
Then several groups of parents from Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio State, and Penn State started writing letters and the commissioner decided maybe he made a mistake.
I know the Nebraska players were considering litigation, too not sure if they filed it but they threatened it.
The commissioner should have known better. [Reply]

Regardless thats getting shit done.
Also Clay Travis at Outkick facilitated the whole thing. As Whitlock tweeted, ballers get stuff done, wannabees just virtue signal. [Reply]
Is it true that some B1G teams aren’t practicing or even on campus? I have a hard time believing they will just suddenly start playing football games Oct. 10th [Reply]
