Just when we were about ready to give up hope, it now looks like the Big Ten will have a football season that begins in October. Nothing is official yet, but a lot of positive steps happened late last week and over the weekend. We could learn as soon as today whether the league will reverse course and give its teams an opportunity to play this fall, and early enough where they can be eligible for the College Football Playoff. But the news is not all good as star cornerback Shaun Wade has decided to turn pro. This on the heels of All-American right guard Wyatt Davis also opting out of what could be a season that begins next month.

Just when we were getting our hopes up that the Big Ten would begin its football season in October, the rug has been pulled from underneath us again.

Ohio State wants to play football beginning next month, and today we will likely find out if the Buckeyes will be able to do that or not.

Are we on the verge of the biggest mulligan in college sports history? Maybe. Hopefully. Our Dave Biddle broke the story and we discuss the Big Ten's possible vote on football - or is it revote? - planned for either Friday and Saturday.

Is momentum building toward an October start to the Big Ten's football season? Well, it's already September, so the wheels better get turning faster. But at least they seem to be in motion. On Tuesday, President Trump and Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren spoke on the phone, and Trump later tweeted that the Big Ten is "on the 1-yard line" when it comes to playing football this fall. The Big Ten then called it a "productive call" between the two men. Are we getting our hopes up for nothing, or could Big Ten football really begin next month? Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss all of that, plus converse about Ohio State's latest commitment in its 2022 class: tight end Bennett Christian.

Just when you thought things could not get more ridiculous in the Big Ten, word leaked that the conference is now considering starting its football season in late November of this year. Because, obviously if it's not safe to play in September it would be safe to play in late November. Do you feel the sarcasm there? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss the latest craziness in the Big Ten, the great job by Ohio State's football parents at Saturday's rally outside Ohio Stadium, and senior defensive tackle Haskell Garrett thankfully being in stable condition after suffering a gunshot wound to the face on Saturday.

Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren is receiving most of the blame for the conference canceling its fall football season. But some fans have said the university presidents are the ones who should be taking the heat from the public. Because if they wanted Big Ten football this fall, there would be Big Ten football. But the same is true for Warren. If he wanted football to be played in the Big Ten this fall, there would be Big Ten football this fall. The point is both things are true, and Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to explain why. Also, is Bax holding out any hope that the Big Ten will reverse course and play this fall? Especially when they see high school kids playing this Friday in Ohio? To close the show, we discuss how all of this might impact Ohio State's recruiting, if at all. All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

When it comes to recruiting, Ohio State's staff is not big on wasting time. Or harboring negativity. So they have wasted little time moving on from Tunmise Adeleye's decommitment. That brings us to Virginia native Tyliek Williams, a 300-pound plus defensive tackle. Is he a fallback plan? Not at all. Duane Long is here to talk Williams, Florida offensive lineman with an offer and the next Ryan Shazier on the radar? Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters.

Bill gives you the latest intel on the top uncommitted recruits on Ohio State's board in the 2021 class. Also, will the Buckeyes hold off Alabama for the No. 1 recruiting class in the country? And what does OSU plan on doing at offensive line if it misses out on its primary remaining targets? All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Now the question is whether Wade's protest will work. Dan Rubin joins Dave Biddle for a special edition of the Friday 5ish to give thoughts on the protest and what might come out of it. Also, is a winter/spring season a viable option? Could all of this negatively affect the Buckeyes' recruiting? All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

Just when we were ready to give up on the idea of Ohio State playing football this fall, Jeff Snook reported late Tuesday night that Gene Smith and Ohio State are leading a charge to try and get a total of six Big Ten teams to play a 10-game, round-robin schedule that would begin in October. Will this plan work? Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss this idea in detail and whether it's possible it will happen.
