Looking at what I can find on the latest Big Ten policy there are a few questions.
Big Ten office is in charge of deciding if it is a reschedule/forfeit/no contest.
What is the time frame for that decision?
Who really decides a game can't be rescheduled? This is going to be a problem due to fitting in games that could be unfair due to other regularly scheduled games and fatigue. These are student athletes and squeezing in games, particularly on the road is even more taxing on the academic side.
Games that can't be rescheduled and are deemed a no contest (I guess there will be quite a few) will cause an unequal amount of games played across the conference. How will the Big Ten champion be determined?
I know these have probably not been addressed because of the fluid situation around COVID but the pessimist in me feels like the Big Ten is intentional in the vagueness so they can change the policy to best suit the teams they deem deserve better treatment. (Sorry, the 2020 football season still burns me...)
