BREAKING: The @bigten Conference will not have non-conference games aginst non #BigTen teams in 2021 in baseball or softball, sources tell @d1baseball. Coaches, however, are expected to aim for as many games as possible. More to come.
Two things to add:
1) Coaches are expected to add some #BigTen teams as 'non-conference games" to get as close to 56 games as possible.
2) Even had the B1G kept NC games, teams would've been required to bus to everything. Would've been a mess.
Also, I spoke with a couple of sources just now about today's news on scheduling in 2021. The @bigten is looking at two things, primarily:
1) The virus, obviously
2) Cost containment. Expect to hear that term A LOT soon.
