The Big Ten Conference on Tuesday canceled its football season, becoming the first major college football conference to slash its fall plans amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“As time progressed and after hours of discussion with our Big Ten Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases and the Big Ten Sports Medicine Committee, it became abundantly clear that there was too much uncertainty regarding potential medical risks to allow our student-athletes to compete this fall," Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren said in a news release.
“Canceling the season would mean closing down socially-distanced, structured programs for these athletes,” Sasse wrote, referencing a campaign from star college football players to keep their season intact.
