Ohio State will play for the Big Ten championship, after all.
The conference announced Wednesday it has decided to change its rule requiring teams to play a minimum of six games to qualify for its Dec. 19 championship game.
Big Ten athletic directors met virtually Wednesday morning for a regularly scheduled meeting to discuss the change, then announced its decision to amend the qualification requirement late in the afternoon, after discussion among conference presidents.
In a statement, the Big Ten it was voting "to eliminate the minimum-game requirement for participation" in the 2020 championship game. The statement added that the decision was made in collaboration with the Big Ten Council of Presidents and Chancellors and the conference office.
