Thursday afternoon the Big Ten announced that any fall sport that would be able to compete this coming school year would do so playing only conference opponents, due to coronavirus.
The B1G is the first Power 5 conference to institute such a rule, but reports have already surfaced that the ACC is likely to follow, which would likely bring us to a situation where all five conferences follow suit.
B1G commissioner Kevin Warren told Yahoo! Sports the following about his decision.
“The biggest thing is that this affords us an opportunity to be nimble and agile in an uncertain time,” Warren told Pete Thamel.
