Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren announced Thursday the league is moving the football schedule to conference-only in the fall, saying he’s “very concerned” about the potential of the season.
Warren called it the “next logical step” in hopes of having a college football season.
“The biggest thing is that this affords us an opportunity to be nimble and agile in an uncertain time,” Warren said in a phone interview. “It all ties back to the health and safety of our student-athletes. It’s easy for us to manage operations, the schedule and logistics when we’re focused on the Big Ten conference.
