It Could Be Worse for Big 10 to Play in January, Rather Than This Fall

Clay Travis has been beating the Big 10 drum all week, and that continues today. The Big 10 Commissioner Kevin Warren released a letter discussing a number of different topics surrounding the conference, but one thing stood out in particular to Clay.

In the letter, the Big 10 is considering playing their football season not this fall, as we all know by now, but in the month of January, and also playing the games indoors. This is blowing Clay's mind. How does this make any sense at all?

It's no secret that the month of January is during the height of cold and flu season. Why would you want to play then? Furthermore, studies have shown throughout the past months that the virus spreads on a much higher rate indoors as opposed to outside. None of this makes any sense.

Clay brings in the Outkick crew to see if they can find any logic behind it, and there is only one theory that begins to make sense on why this is even being considered, and that is this year's election. The Presidential Election is the one thing that will really be different between where we stand now and in January.

Could it really all be about politics and nothing else? Clay is not one for conspiracy theories, but it's starting to feel like the only explanation to this illogical position being taken by the Big 10.
