In his interview today with Big Ten Network, Paul Chryst spoke about his reaction to the postponement of the fall sports season and gave his thoughts about possibly playing in the spring.

Chryst stated that he has “some concerns” about playing football in the spring, and cited his doubts about the practicality of having two seasons in one year. He then pivoted to the point that the team will be focusing on what they can control going into the fall, and stated that the team will make the most of their new offseason within the guidelines set by the Big Ten.

It is refreshing to hear Paul Chryst speaking positively about what his team wants to do in the fall when there is so much pessimism surrounding college football right now. Time will tell if the Big Ten does play in the spring, but judging from the words of Chryst and other Big Ten coaches, a spring season seems very impractical.
