Not until spring, and I don't expect the B10 will start before Thanksgiving. Nobody cares if the MAC opens up but the B10 has more interest regarding the NFL draft and for political reasons. Jarod Smalley on WCMH-TV last night mentioned one importance of the B10 to the national political scene -- it's footprint includes four swing states (PA, MI, WI and MN) plus Ohio (which also may be in play in November). While the MAC's footprint includes MI and Ohio, the main interest among the public in general is with the B10 schools. The MAC is under no pressure to open.

Hearing that the Big 10 will return to play soon

I'm surprised they might vote tomorrow. I thought they might wait a few days to see whether this weekend's games create any covid issues. Several games this weekend and next involving teams that played last weekend have been or are in danger of being postponed due to the virus.

The B10 needs nine votes to reopen. The three B10 presidents that opposed shutting down the season reportedly were O$U, Iowa and Neb. Mich would likely be pressured to favor opening, given that Harbaugh has been shooting off his mouth. Indiana and Purdue might feel some pressure, given that ND opened with a fair-sized crowd today. That could make six. Not sure whether the rest are getting any kind of pressure.

If the B10 and Pac-12 start by mid-October, would the CFP selection committee hold off its final vote for playoff teams until the B10/Pac-12 complete their seasons, probably by late December?

Just when it looks like the B10 will set a date for starting the football season, the son of one of the protest organizers has opted out of his senior season at O$U to prep for the NFL draft: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29884476...
