*****Big Ten 2020 Schedule Released*****

[Saunders]

Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren spent two and a half hours on Zoom Monday night, talking with two athlete representatives from each of his 14 schools: one football player and one Olympic sport athlete per university.

Warren discussed with them a draft of the Big Ten’s medical protocols for fall competition, if it can happen. The call went so long because he made sure to answer every question posed.

“I didn’t want to have a theoretical or philosophical conversation with them; I wanted to go through the actual policies and procedures to get feedback,” Warren told The Athletic on Tuesday night. “Were the medical questions that were asked able to be answered 100 percent, to a T? No. But that’s the climate we’re in.”

I guess I see 7-3 as about the floor...9-1 as the ceiling.

Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, OSU in 4 straight games is rough.

Love Gerry DiNardo!  Talking about how coaches are really going to remind their players to not go out Thursday nights when the other non-players are going out to have a good time.  Classic!

Added Michigan State. Good.

But the gauntlet part of the schedule gets moved up from the end to early mid. IDK how I feel about that. Would've been nice if some of those weren't all back to back to back.

 

[Saunders]

Would have rather had Maryland, but whatever...

Most of the top of the East gets Week 6 off (except Ohio State).  The top 4 in the West get Week 7 off.  Then Week 10 (West) and Week 11 (East) are pretty open.  Good way to try to fit in division games that have to be moved.

everyone should want MSU this year. They lost a ton and have a new coach that wasn't able to install a new system this Spring. Although NU gets them late in the season.

Opening against a team that had 20+ cases this week in a state where you are required to quarantine for 14 days when entering....

Minnesota crossovers:
Mich St
Mich
Indiana
Maryland

Wisconsin crossovers:
Indiana
Maryland
Michigan
Rutgers

Two easiest crossover schedules for the two teams picked as favorites to win the West.

At least we can hopefully get the season off to a solid start with Rutgers followed by Illinois.  Think starting off strong is critical to our success this year.
