Despite having three games cancelled this season, Ohio State University could remain eligible for a Big Ten conference championship game.
A “change in policy” in regards to how many games a team is played during this season is going to be changed, according to reports.
The news was first announced by Sports Illustrated reporter Pat Forde.
From WEWS News 5 Cleveland:
Forde reports that Indiana would have to face Northwestern if the Buckeyes were deemed ineligible to play in the conference title game.
The Buckeye’s place in the post-season came into question on Tuesday when Michigan canceled its regular season rivalry because of the number of COVID-19 cases in the Wolverine program.
A Nov. 28 matchup against Illinois had to be cancelled, as was a Nov. 14 game with Maryland. Both were due to COVID-19.
