According to Mike Farrell of Rivals.com, those in Big Ten meetings believe January is still the plan to start any potential season.

As has been the case throughout the process, it looks outwardly like the conference is just trying to piece things together. There was a lot of chatter about a report that a late fall season was under consideration. For now, that doesn’t sound like a proposal with a lot of traction.
At the moment, the model proposed by one athletic director still seems the most feasible. Only time will tell if it proves realistic.
