Wolverine Wednesday: When Will We Know The Big 10 Schedule?

We know the AD's and head coaches are working on a fall football schedule.   What we don't know, is what they are thinking. 

When will they start the season?

Will they schedule games every week or every other?

Will they play the divisional games earlier?

How are they going to handle the extra bi-divisional game that has to be played for each team?

Will teams spend the night prior to the game?

Fan or no fans?  Then how many?

There is a ton of logistics to be worked out and we are hearing the AD's and coaches are meeting every Thursday to work out the details.   There is a strong possibility of playing the divisional games first, which would mean a Michigan - OSU game that is not in late November.    To get Michigan Football this fall, I'm sure the traditionalists will give everyone a pass on this strange year.

Texas feels like they could have 50% capacity.   I don't see that many being an option.   Maybe 20K per game in the Big House. 

I know full team workouts are expected to start soon as they are giving each team a couple of weeks prior to training camp due to the loss of Spring Ball.  I don't want to jinx anything but Michigan seems relatively healthy regarding the virus, if the numbers released are accurate. 


  • Aaron Lewis has transferred to Rutgers.   Which seems to be a common landing spot for former Wolverines.   

  • David Ojabo is no longer stuck in Scotland and back in the US. 

  • California has moved HS Football to the Spring, which could mean Michigan's California commits could be done with high school football. 

  • Kitty Paye gets the #1 ranking on Bruce Feldman's 2020 Freak List.   That is one of those things that is actually an honor but doesn't sound like one.  

  • If things do go bad and the Big Ten moved football to the Spring.  Would a 2021 commit that enrolls in January be eligible to play right away?  JJ to Flash for a TD!
