.ScottGottliebMD weighs in on the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences postponing their college football seasons.
The Big Ten announced Tuesday it will postpone fall sports this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
About an hour after the Big Ten's announcement, the Pac-12 called a news conference to say its season would be postponed until the spring. The Big Ten said Tuesday the postponement affects all sports scheduled for the fall season as concerns about the pandemic continue to plague the U.S. along with fears of a second wave of Covid-19. The Big Ten conference includes schools such as Ohio State University, University of Michigan and Northwestern University. The Big Ten said in a statement Tuesday that it will consider playing the fall sports in the spring instead.
"The mental and physical health and welfare of our student-athletes has been at the center of every decision we have made regarding the ability to proceed forward," Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren said in a press release announcing the decision.
