It appears the first domino of change for college football has fallen in the Big Ten. In a statement put out by the Big Ten Conference the league announced they will play a conference only schedule this fall in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. This decision by the conference will include all fall sports, which, yes, means college football. Below is the statement just announced by the conference.
Overall, the Big Ten will be losing out on some marquee games for the 2020 season. For the Wisconsin Badgers the losses will be two home games against Southern Illinois and Appalachian State, along with a huge contest at Lambeau Field in Green Bay against Notre Dame.
