For 9 league games, magic number is 7
August 25, 2010 4:17 PM
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany wants a nine-game conference schedule in football. Same goes for most, if not all of the athletic directors in the league.
But a nine-game Big Ten slate isn't a done deal just yet. The league is still trying to make sure its teams can reach a different magic number: seven.
"There's an intention to go to nine games," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany told me, "if we can work out the sequencing of those games so that teams that have obligations on a home-and-away basis can end up with seven home games."
