Big 10 teams will attempt to play eight games in eight weeks before a conference championship just before the NCAA's selections for the College Football Playoff.
The games will be played without fans, and football teams will undergo daily rapid-testing for COVID-19 antigens during the abbreviated season.
Maryland suspended individual workouts this summer after nine out of 185 football players and staff tested positive for the coronavirus.
