Bye Week

I may be missing something here. Isn’t the Big 10 bye week November 14? The Gophers scheduled the SDSU Jackalopes for that date so the lack of bye is the Gopher’s fault, not the Big Ten’s.

there is no Big Ten Bye Week

Michigan plays Wisconsin that weekend and I’m sure there are other Big Ten games though I haven’t looked.

I didn’t mean a league-wide Big 10 Bye week. I meant that the Gophers had a bye from Big 10 action on November 14th. They chose to fill in that week with SDSU. My main point is that the gophers scheduled a cream puff on their bye week and now are complaining they don’t have a bye week. I haven’t looked at other B10 schedules, did other schools schedule a DII school during their byes? Do they have two byes, one for rest, one for a cream puff, or are they just taking that week off?
