The Penn State rivals website Blue White Illustrated published a story yesterday with details on where spring football plans are pointing toward at this time. If these details hold through planning to fruition then this will be a season to remember if for no other reason than pfor the oddity of what is being planned.
Among some of the features that are being planned include:
- A start date around January 7
- Numerous weeknight games to avoid overlap with other league football games
- An eight-game schedule
- Each team would get only one bye week
- Entirely neutral site games hosted at sites to be determined off campus
- A conference championship game to be held the second weekend in March in the Rose Bowl
There is also talk that if the Pac-12 can finalize a spring season season in conjunction with the Big Ten, there may be a traditional Rose Bowl scheduled pitting the two conference champions against each other.
