Okay, we all expected this move to happen, and now it’s here. Now, it’s official. After weeks and weeks of anticipation, the B1G has finally set 2020 football plans into stone.
Personally, I love that we’re doing 10 games. I was worried we might play fewer. Clearly, that’s no longer an issue.
We have two bye weeks, which provide flexibility for everyone in the league. Overall, Kevin Warren should be applauded because this is a hell of a great plan.
Also, as anticipated, Michigan vs. Ohio State won’t happen at the end of the year. Instead, it’ll happen Oct. 24.
I think fans can live with that date.
Overall, the B1G hit a home run with this plan. We’re starting as scheduled, and the B1G title game is happening in early December as of right now.
I literally have zero complaints. Shoutout to everyone involved for the great job.
