B1G exploring options for Champions Week locations

The B1G will consider domed football stadiums as the sites of Champions Week matchups, according to Nebraska AD Bill Moos.

Bill Moos says the Big Ten is exploring various domed football stadiums for the Week 9 cross-divisional games. He said those sites could be shored up as soon as this week, although he didn’t rule out the possibility of those games being played in on-campus stadiums.
