Big Ten's goal: January start for football, with hopes for full fall 2021 schedule

While full support on the Big Ten’s decision to postpone football in the fall clearly does not exist, what direction the conference heads from this point could be a chance to get everyone back on board.

With plans to play after the first of the year forging ahead, those around the Big Ten are offering up their visions. From Purdue’s Jeff Brohm to Ohio State’s Ryan Day and Penn State’s James Franklin, coaches are doing their best to influence the schedule, while Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour told reporters on Monday the conference could have a schedule ready to go within a week.
