Big 10 looking at starting 2020 seas as soon as Thanksgiving weekend

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Big Ten coaches, athletic directors and medical personnel are working on what would have the league’s football season begin as soon as Thanksgiving weekend. The conference is in the early stages of a complicated process that also involves broadcast partners and possible neutral site venues. The Big Ten announced earlier this month it was postponing its fall football season because of concerns about playing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Pac-12 soon followed suit, but six other major conferences, including the Southeastern Conference, are still forging ahead toward a season that will start in September.
