Big Ten's 9-game proposal to spur discussion, could balance league schedules
May 16, 2011 10:25 AM
Big Ten officials will discuss the merits of a nine-game league football schedule next week in Chicago. It's undetermined if it will pass, or even come to a vote.
"I think more discussion at this point," Iowa Athletics Director Gary Barta said. "I'm not aware that there's going to be a specific vote. I could be suprised. Certainly more discussion.
"One of the things that I've made it clear and I think that every athletic director has made it clear is whenever that occurs, if it's going to occur if it becomes inevitable, one of the principles we all need to have seven home games. Asssuming that principle is adhered to, then I'm generally supportive of the concept."
