Summary

Just when you thought things could not get more ridiculous in the Big Ten, word leaked that the conference is now considering starting its football season in late November of this year. Because, obviously if it's not safe to play in September it would be safe to play in late November. Do you feel the sarcasm there? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss the latest craziness in the Big Ten, the great job by Ohio State's football parents at Saturday's rally outside Ohio Stadium, and senior defensive tackle Haskell Garrett thankfully being in stable condition after suffering a gunshot wound to the face on Saturday. All of that and more is on the Monday 5ish. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

1:14.3	It just makes no sense to me Steve and they need to start the season by
