My guess is they’ll try and make up the top tier games and hope everything sorts itself out. No real reason to reschedule NW and Penn State, at this point.
Would be nice to have some direction from the conference but if we beat Illinois and Iowa, this is a moot point.
Which thread?
That’s a good point. This is a chance to do something like the plan for football, where they were supposed to match up similar teams in that 9th game.
There are some weird takes in there. I’m not sure why everyone is basically assuming that Michigan wouldn’t reschedule a single game that has been postponed.
I do think postponing the Wisconsin game an entire week after our shutdown ended would be a bit extreme. 7 days should probably be more than enough time, 3 days is more questionable imo.
This one I think, and now that I’m reading through it, like @kturnup said I can agree it was a mistake.
Someone referring to Rutgers as “Buttgers” on a reddit thread is the reason why I love this site so much. It’s good to step outside of this echo chamber once in a while but, my heavens, reading that thread will tide me over for a little while. Buttgers… sheesh. 
Wait what, you’re telling me that “Buttgers,” “Sharty,” “O$U,” “Pedo State,” and “Purdon’t” aren’t the pinnacle of brilliant humor? You don’t read a Penn State forum member calling Michigan the “Vulvarines” and stand in awe at their genius?
Chris Balas claims of Mich bbl will start practice Monday but won’t play the Illinois game next week. Is this his opinion or truth?
So far it’s being reported by him as fact according to his source. Nothing else has been announced, either formally or other reporters being able to verify.
There’s also this which makes it seem as less of a sure thing:
Makes sense to move the Illinois game but play the Wisconsin game. I hope that’s how it plays out
Checking out Illinois’ schedule and they don’t play until Tuesday Feb 16th after our game. I wonder if we could push to get the Illinois game pushed back a day to Friday Feb 12th. That would be 4 days of practice before game day, better than 3 
I could agree with this unless practice starts Sunday then Thurs is ok with 4 days of practice with no travel.
I’m no Jon Sanderson but if a couple days in the gym means injuries are less likely, best to push off some games and dare the Big Ten to try to cram in all 20 games and a tournament while classes are going on.
They should move their Tuesday game to Wednesday. That would allow them to play us Saturday or Sunday without a time crunch.
I’m a little surprised that the B1G doesn’t at least tease a solution to determining the regular season champion. Announce that they’re working on a formula, something. There definitely comes a time when there’s enough free-floating anxiety among the public and those who care that failing to address a thing looks like malfeasance.
Maybe I’m missing something?
I have to assume there are a bunch of behind the scenes discussions happening right now with a bunch of politicking happening.
Never a fan of hedging a statement in a headline, unless the larger piece is understood to be opinion. Could, may, might, likely, etc are words that leave the author a convenient escape route should their click-baity statement not come to fruition.
I agree with you 100% but unfortunately that’s Insider 101.
This hedging and the fact that no one else has picked this up might mean that his source was a bit too trigger happy.
I still think there’s a decent chance the Illinois game happens.
I agree this game and the womens game next week are still on as a go on the athletic dept schedule on M Go Blue site.
