After conflicting reports over the past week or so, Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is now reporting that the polls have closed and the Big Ten is set to announce that a 2020 football season will happen.
Potrykus is also reporting that it will likely be an 8-game schedule over 9 weeks, with the Big Ten winner being in the running for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Nebraska president Ted Carter leaked news earlier that the B1G is set to announce it's 2020 football plan today. This is confirmed. Polls are closed. Votes are in. Time for #Badgers fans and their pals across the league to celebrate.

Also, #Badgers and B1G fans: We wrote recently (assuming others did as well) that you're looking at an eight-game season in a nine-week window. And they'll be in the running for a CFP berth.
