INDIANAPOLIS — Despite many offers, Big Ten Conference commissioner Kevin Warren wouldn’t take the bait on Thursday.
Warren, the conference and half of its football coaches were gathered at Lucas Oil Stadium for football media days, but they all were quiet on how the league will handle COVID-19 issues should they arise this season.
After stating that the Big Ten will have a “decentralized” COVID-19 protocol this season, allowing the conference’s 14 institutions to manage their procedures, Warren said the conference will collect the schools’ policies in early August and determine how the conference will handle the virus this fall.
