The “will they or won’t they” saga continues with the state of college football, especially in the Midwest.
According to reports from The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and CBS Sports on Friday morning, it appears that there have been conversations for the Big Ten Conference to start an eight-game football season on the weekend of Thanksgiving. This would also presumably create a quasi-bubble situation on campuses, as students will be home for holiday break after Thanksgiving and running into January.
According to two college football people familiar with the Big Ten, those talks have generated a new option, starting a Big Ten season of at least eight games the week of Thanksgiving.
