Kind of like this idea.

The Big Ten is planning to play two conference games in early December of 2017, sources told FanRag Sports.

The two games would be part of a “Big Ten Weekend”, which would feature the conference’s football championship game on Saturday, Dec. 2nd.

Each basketball program would play one home game and one away game under the expected plan, with the games taking place between Friday Dec. 1st and Monday Dec. 4th, a separate source said.

The same source said that the Big Ten will not have games between Christmas and New Year’s in 2017, with conference play resuming in early 2018.

This would fall during the week that's traditionally been the BIG/ACC challenge wouldn't it? I wonder what the future of that event is?

Personally I would love to play our home and away against MSU in December when they are usually still putting thier pieces together.

I'm sure that's around to stay.
