Indianapolis — While the Big Ten likely won’t announce its official COVID-19 policy until early next month, Michigan State is doing its best to avoid any issues once the 2021 season kicks off.
The biggest concern for the conference is what to do if a team is unable to take the field because of issues related to the virus. During the abbreviated 2020 season, the conference attempted to reschedule games that got canceled. That will be tougher to do this fall as the Big Ten, like most conferences, fully intends to play a full schedule and open dates will be hard to come by.
