Ryan Day thinks Big Ten can play in January
Can the Big Ten really have a spring season? It’s why the wording matters – the push is for the idea of postponing the 2020 season, and not canceling it. The idea is to move the fall season to start just over four months later, and Ohio State head coach Ryan Day thinks that can happen.
The Big 12 will continue on with fall sports

Can Nebraska play college football outside of the Big Ten?
Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports asked the question to Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren. Can Nebraska play this year outside of the Big Ten?
