Athletic directors in the Big Ten have unanimously approved the new rule, per Thamel’s sources, but the Faculty Athletic Representatives in the conference are still required to vote in the proposal’s favor to make it an official Big Ten rule.

According to Thamel’s sources, it’s expected that the result of the vote will be revealed sometime Tuesday.
