Heading into preseason practice, the Maryland football team received a bit of clarity concerning the 2020 college football season. The Big Ten on Wednesday released its 10-game, conference-only schedule, with the Terps set to begin their second season under coach Mike Locksley on Sept. 5 at Iowa.
The unveiling of the new schedule is no assurance that the season will start — or finish — on time, as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues to force the NCAA and its programs to adjust its operations. Several programs, including Maryland, had to pause summer workouts after reporting coronavirus cases.
