per Megan:
After months of uncertainty, the season being off and on, a racial justice awakening and a global pandemic still rampant, Big Ten football has emerged.
A little late, but when a truncated conference-only season begins Saturday, it’ll at least be some semblance of normalcy returned. Albeit at a breakneck speed.
“Ready or not, here we come, and here comes the season,” Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said. “I think everybody’s within that time frame, and everybody has that pressure on them to get their team ready.”
This year in the Big Ten will be unique. A nine-games-in-nine-weeks sprint to catch up to the other Power Five schools, who started earlier. And while teams from the Big 12, ACC and SEC have seen positive tests delay games or shutdown practices, the Big Ten has no flexibility for makeups if it wants teams to be College Football Playoff eligible.

This will be a Big Ten football season like no other
The pandemic, jumbled schedules and social justice issues will combine to make 2020 unique.
