Enough with the speculation — the Big Ten Conference will resume play when it is ready to do so

Since the Big Ten’s official decision to postpone fall sports on Aug. 11, there have been a lot of rumors flying around about when the conference plans to resume its football season.

Originally, the plan was “spring,” with an eye toward a March or April start. Then there were talks about a potential January start, much to the delight of Ohio State head coach Ryan Day. Next thing you know, the possibility of beginning the season around Thanksgiving is being discussed.

Now it’s gotten to the point where the President of the United States, Donald Trump, has gotten involved and had a conversation with Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren about a restart for the league.
