The Big Ten is forging ahead on a plan to play college football this spring. Coaches put forth a proposal on a conference call Thursday morning that includes an early January start date, with the traditional “fall camp” training period coming in December.
Purdue coach Jeff Brohm isolated himself at Lake Freeman on Wednesday and came up with his own nine-page plan that he released to the media on Thursday morning.
It’s uncertain where the conference will end up with a spring schedule. But as the Big Ten watches with interest as the ACC, SEC and Big 12 attempt to navigate their way to start a season in the fall, the Big Ten has made its sentiment clear — the spring can work.
