Dan Patrick Show

“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]

Apparently a discussed scenario is to play in indoor/domed stadiums that are in the Big 10 geographic footprint such as Indy, Minneapolis, Detroit, etc.
I guess taking part in indoor activities is no longer unsafe relative to playing outdoors. [Reply]
Nebraskas president was caught on a hot mic this morning saying there will be an announcement tonight that the Huskers and B1G will be playing football soon.
A reporter in Milwaukee has confirmed it start date will be Oct 17th which still makes all teams eligible for the playoffs [Reply]
Yeah boy. Bring it. College and high school is the only football I need this season.
