9-game B1G football league schedule for 2016

Alvarez said he believes the nine-game vote will be a formality and wasn't sure of the exact date but thought it was next week, early May at the latest. CBSSports.com has left a message with a Big Ten official for clarification on the date. The league's spring meetings take place May 13-15 in Chicago.

The league previously discussed a 10-game schedule but will opt against it.
