Does Spring Football in the Big Ten make sense?

What a long, strange week it’s been.

From a Rutgers perspective, the only definitive thing we know at this moment is that there will be no sports played this fall within the Big Ten. Aside from that, there are only questions about what is next with no definitive answers as of yet.

Will fall sports, most importantly football, be played in the spring instead?

Will winter sports take place on a normal calendar schedule? That seems highly unlikely at this point. So does that mean basketball and wrestling begin in January?

How will all fourteen athletic departments within the Big Ten decide to operate moving forward after each are expected to fall short of anywhere between $50-$100 million in revenue with football not being played this autumn?
