[Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Bye week [Body] 
Actually, the bye week has already been implemented. Starting this year, the Big Ten is extending play to the 13th week of the season with each team having a bye week. This pushes the Michigan-Ohio State game to Thanksgiving weekend, which could affect attendance (don't get me wrong, I still expect 110,000+ sellouts, but it's going to lead to some students skipping UM-OSU who attend the games for social reasons primarily). The Big Ten made this change to deal with criticism that B10 football ends too soon before the other conferences.
