According to internal discussions obtained by Tom Dienhart of rivals.com, the Big Ten is seriously considering a move that would be announced as early as next week that would cancel all non-conference football games among member schools and add one conference game for a 10-game conference only schedule this season.
This is based on an anonymous “Power 5 head coach” that Dienhart spoke with. Though one can naturally presume it was possibly one of the Big Ten’s 14 head coaches given the insight if ture. The important excerpt from longer comments he quoted in his article are:
“Yes, it hasn’t been officially decided,” said a Power 5 head coach.
