Big Ten Football schedule should prioritize greater good over competitive balance

August is here, which usually marks the beginning of fall training camp for college football. However, this year the calendar turned to a traditionally predictable month that is nowhere close to that this time around.

While the global pandemic COVID-19 continues to plague the United States, the Big Ten, like all the other power five conferences, is still hoping to play this fall. They are expected to release a ten game conference only schedule very soon per Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune. In addition, James Kratch of NJ Advance Media reported that the “expectation” is training camps will begin for Big Ten teams on August 7th.
