WEST LAFAYETTE - The Big Ten is back in business.

Or, at least the conference will attempt to start its 2020 football season in October, according to a press release issued by the conference on Wednesday morning.

The Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors voted unanimously to resume the season after adopting significant medical protocols including daily antigen testing, enhanced cardiac screening and an enhanced data-driven approach when making decisions about practice and competition.

The Big Ten will require student-athletes, coaches, trainers and other individuals that are on the field for all practices and games to undergo daily antigen testing.
