It looks like football will be the only fall sport returning to a fall schedule. University of Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez says he doesn’t see that happening for volleyball, soccer, and cross country teams.
Their seasons have been moved to the second semester due to the coronavirus pandemic. Alvarez says he thinks they will stay there.
Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren says updates on the seasons for winter sports like basketball, hockey, swimming and diving, and wrestling will be announced soon.
Big Ten Conference football teams will play six games in their own division, two crossover games, and one postseason game when the full schedule is released this week.
The conference officially announced Wednesday the first of eight regular-season games will be played October 23rd and 24th.
Division winners will meet in the league championship game December 19th – the day before the field for the College Football Playoff will be revealed.
Alvarez says the ninth game for teams that don’t qualify for the league title game will feature the second- through seventh-place teams meeting each other.
