After initially postponing their 2020 college football season amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with hopes of playing in the spring instead, the Big Ten Conference may have a new plan up their sleeve.
A potential Thanksgiving start is on the table, per Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
#Badgers AM rewind: The B1G working on another plan for a revised 2020 football schedule. This one could have teams playing by Thanksgiving weekend. The first plan featured a January start. TBD if the league can make it all work. https://t.co/cDiNmldgvB

It may be possible that tarting the season around that time could give top prospects a chance to play a full conference slate and still have adequate time to prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Pac-12 has also postponed their 2020 season, while the rest of the Power 5 conferences are still planning to go ahead with a reduced schedule this fall.
