Game Day atmosphere Big 10 in Jan should be terrific.

Getting to share the stage with middle of basketball season. Minus zero temps with winds and ice is stimulating for the soul. Tailgating will be fun.

Zero chance they have football in the spring. They are just saying that so their players don't jump ship.

average temp in Minnesota for the month of January: 22.

Spring football will never happen
If this is really about "the health of the players" why would you have them play months of a violent impact sport, twice in the same year with only a couple months rest between seasons before you start training camp again?

I don't think they will ever play in the spring. If they do it would start no earlier than March, perhaps. I think it would be disruptive to the fall season.

Looks like fun!

Can’t see spring ball happening if COVID transmissions is their main concern. Projections I’ve seen don’t make it sound like any vaccine would be available until mid/late summer 2021. So, what’s the difference between playing football now and next spring?

It's about the safety of the players, after all.

There will be no spring season. It just makes no sense to do it then. Champaign weather isn’t near as bad as most of the B10 schools and you would still be hard pressed to find people that want to spend 4 hours outside

They wont have to worry about reduced capacity. Its going to look like those Packers playoff games

It's all politics. 100%. These dip shits are all just power hungry and they love to abuse it. They don't give a shite about the health of players, students, fans, coaches, etc.

You underestimate the people of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. They will still tailgate their asses off.
These people are used to tailgating for home playoff games in January. They'll be fine.

Share with NFL playoffs too.

Saying midwesterners won't show up in freezing temperatures, is akin to saying southern won't show up when it's scorching hot. It's not reality. People are used to where they live, they know how to deal with the cold just like we know how to deal with the heat.

It'll be fun to watch on TV from the south, sitting on the back porch with a heater and 50 - 60 degree temps watching those crazy bastard take off their shirts to prove how tough they are! I bet almost as many die of hypothermia as would die of the COVID....
They ain't playing in January either....thats just a spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down...things ain't going to be appreciably different in January outside of public perception and doing so based on the publics acceptance of our reality will be an admission that cancelling the season was a mistake to begin with. The public will accept its reality as soon as we are required to do so...humans are resilient in that way...but as long as we are given a crutch we will use it cause we are also bent that way....kick the crutch out from under us and we will stumble for a minute and get on with our lives no matter what obstacles we face.

Spring football accomplishes 2 things that aint gonna happen any other way...first is the PAC 12 gets a team in what will pass for a national title game...the second is Ohio State wins what will pass for that title game...'cause there aint no way they manage to do that if any of the top 5 in the SEC are in that game or either Oklahoma or Clemson...hell the BIG 10 and PAC 12 may well decide to play in the spring from now on to avoid the guantlet that is the SEC, Clemson and Oklahoma.....

Playing 2 seasons within 10-12 months sounds like they have the players safety in mind.

They can do it... They would play 8 games in January and February and games if need be if weather relly inclement would be played in domed stadiums in the BIG, and in Indy and other MW domed stadiums. Why isn't this doable. The NFL draft has already said they would move the date back to accomodate CFB....that shouldn't be a problem because they'll finish (if there are no playoff games) wll before the draft anyway. The only thing i see that could not make this thing work is if we are in no better shape then than now regarding COVID, which I am highly skeptical of. Also, there has been chatter about playing a 10 game schedule.... Sounds really possible to me if the COVID declines.

You’ve got domed stadiums in Minneapolis, Detroit, Indianapolis, and St. Louis. Milwaukee could host too
Hell if there are no fans just play in the indoor facilities lol
