BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The pandemic continues, rules change, infection rates rise, and Tom Allen and the Indiana football program remain in control-what-they-can-control mode.
What choice do they have?
On Saturday morning, the Big Ten released a statement that football programs will remain in the "acclimation period" of practice to ensure the conference is making "the right health and safety decisions for our student-athletes."
What does that mean?
Teams can only use helmets as protective pieces of equipment while practicing.
IU opened practice on Thursday. NCAA rules state the first two practice days will be conducted without pads.
