Playing football in Late Nov to February in the upper Midwest only makes sense if games are played indoors. That could be done by the Big 10 with Domes in Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Detroit and outside in DC. But IMO why would schools prefer to play at neutral sites vs. home stadiums.
The Big 10 realizes they made a serious mistake. The SEC, ACC and Big 12 will have a legitimate playoff and they won't be involved.
Also, if Big 10 schools are serious about academics, why would you start the season around Thanksgiving Weekend? I believe many schools start their dead and final weeks right after that.
Unlike ISU, I think the Hawks academic calendar calls for students to go home at Thanksgiving but they would complete dead and finals weeks remotely. Not sure what other Big 10 team academic calendars are after Thanksgiving.
