College football rumors: Could Big Ten go back to 8-game conference schedule?

The Big Ten has already taken one step toward relaxing its stringent scheduling.

It might be ready to drastically change the standards in a few years.

Nebraska athletics director Bill Moos suggested the conference may change its future scheduling guidelines down the road during a radio appearance Monday night, according to the Cornhusker press corps. While Moos did not offer any specifics, he hinted at the possibility the Big Ten could eliminate the ninth conference game and return to an eight-game league slate.

Moos hinted on his radio show tonight that there could be some other schedule news coming out for 2022.
