Back In Football Business – IU Aims To Resist Temptation, Play To Potential

IUHoosiers.com

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Big Ten is back in football business.

Now comes the hardest part:

Resist temptation.

"The biggest thing to me," Indiana head coach Tom Allen says, "is the challenge of (players) staying away from large group gatherings. That's where it has to be disciplined. We've been very straight forward about that."

Wednesday's Big Ten announcement that the league will begin a modified nine-game fall season starting on Oct. 23 was a huge boost for conference players, fans and communities.

The goal was clear -- make it safe, make it meaningful, preserve the entire 2021 schedule.
