The Big Ten "is expected to announce" Thursday that it will cut nonconference games from the schedules of its 14 member schools for the 2020 football season amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach.

The ACC announced earlier in the day it was delaying the start of its Olympic sports until Sept. 1, a step that didn't impact the football season.

The 2020 campaign is scheduled to open Aug. 29, with most schools getting underway Sept. 5.
