INDIANAPOLIS — The Big Ten will play only conference games during the 2020 football season, multiple people with knowledge of the decision confirmed to the USA TODAY Network on Thursday.
The move comes one day following the Ivy League announcing that it will not field athletic competitions during the 2020 fall semester. A decision on fielding winter and spring sports, and whether fall sports competition would be feasible in the spring, will be determined at a later date for the Ivy League.
