Welcome back for the latest episode of college athletics’ surprise hit series of 2020: “What The Hell Will The Big Ten Do Now?”
For people who gravitate to reality series to revel in human dysfunction, this has been the show for you since July. The Big Ten has had it all: shocking plot twists, shoddy leadership, anger, waffling, petulance, pettiness, selfishness, near-constant discord and a succession of plans doomed to fail. And now we are approaching the season finale, wherein the oldest and richest conference in the land will decide whether to blow up its agreed-upon path for the third time (at least) in five months.
