'Let's play football': Jim Harbaugh, Michigan welcome Big Ten season's reinstatement

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, who earlier this month said his team would be “ready to play” if and when the Big Ten decided to reinstate the fall season, will get that chance to prove it.

Harbaugh expressed his support of the Big Ten’s announcement Wednesday morning that football will kick off Oct. 23-24. The Big Ten had postponed the season on Aug. 11, less than a week after releasing a schedule. An eight-game schedule with a “championship week” will be released later this week, Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alavarez said in a video news conference.
