There have been a number of ridiculous days in the Big Ten's ongoing "will they or won't they" drama surrounding a fall 2020 football season, but Thursday may have set a new low.

On a day when players from multiple schools had been told to expect a decision very soon, a scary-sounding report about potential side effects of COVID-19 exploded on Twitter. But just a few hours later, it turned out that the story was wrong.

And the Pac-12 announced a promising deal to secure daily testing for players, but the path back to the playing field could get hung up by local politicians.

So what's stopping the Big Ten from kicking the season off in October? And if they don't do that, when are they likely to finally get back in the game?

Buckeye Scoop's Marc Givler joins host Tom Orr to answer all of those questions.
