‘A lot of optimism’ after Big Ten’s meeting on Sunday, a vote to restart football expected this week

The Big Ten is heavily weighing a return to football, and reports from various outlets on Saturday and Sunday would indicate Michigan will be playing Big Ten foes sooner than later.

“Big Ten (Sunday) meeting has been productive in terms of medical plan and maintaining momentum toward playing this fall,” said SI’s Pat Forde. Forde also noted that “some schools already setting practice schedules in preparation for October kickoff”.

Multiple outlets reported that there will be no vote on Sunday night but there will be one in the next few days, perhaps on Monday.

The Big Ten’s Return to Competition Task Force had a positively-received presentation on Saturday, while Sunday’s meeting delved into how the conference returns to play from a health protocol standpoint.
