ROSEMONT,
Ill. --
The Big
Ten
Conference
announced
today
(Wednesday,
Sept.
16) the
return
of the
2020
football
season
this
fall.
Games
will
begin
starting
the
weekend
of Oct.
23-24.
The
eight-game
schedule
for the
University
of
Michigan
and all
other
Big Ten
schools
will be
set in
the near
future
and
announced
by the
conference.
At
this
time,
due to
current
state of
Michigan
public
health
limitations,
the
University
of
Michigan
is
unable
to have
fans at
home
athletic
events.
Safety
regulations
will
continue
to be
evaluated
by
campus
leadership
in
conjunction
with
medical
experts
and
state/local
government
officials.
We will
communicate
any
changes
as they
are
determined.
The
Big Ten
also
announced
an
agreement
for
conference-wide
rapid
testing
starting
by Sept.
30. This
will
allow
each
school
to test
student-athletes
and
staff on
a daily
basis.
"Great
news
today,"
said Jim
Harbaugh,
J. Ira
and
Nicki
Harris
Family
Head
Football
Coach,
in a
statement.
"Over
the past
month, I
could
sense
the
anticipation
from our
players
and
coaches,
and I'm
thrilled
on their
behalf
that
they
will
have a
chance
to play
a 2020
season.
Stay
positive.
Test
negative.
Let's
play
football."
