Indiana hasn’t had any players choose to opt out of the upcoming 10-game conference-only season.
Yet.
But if and when that time comes, IU coach Tom Allen says he’ll encourage his players to do what they feel is best.
“If someone doesn’t feel safe, doesn’t feel comfortable playing, then there’s no pressure to do that,” Allen said after IU’s first practice of fall camp. “There’s not. If they choose to opt out because of the fear of getting sick, or they don’t want to infect someone at home or have yourself infected by this, then it’s clearly stated by the Big Ten, by Indiana University, by the NCAA that those individuals would keep their scholarship and be in good standing with the team.
