Big Ten Will Reportedly Allow Teams to Schedule Games Against Each Other if Both Have Games Canceled By Opponent in Same Week

If another Big Ten game had been canceled this week, Ohio State would have been able to play this weekend.

According to ESPN's Heather Dinich, Big Ten presidents approved a process earlier this month that will allow conference teams to schedule a new game against each other if both of their games are canceled by their opponent due to COVID-19 issues in the same week, provided that those two teams aren't dealing with COVID-19 outbreaks themselves and that the new game can be scheduled by Wednesday of that week.

Per Dinich, teams would be allowed to schedule a new game against each other even if they have already played earlier in the season or are scheduled to play later in the season.
