The shoe has dropped. After hearing little birds whisper that this was happening yesterday, a vulture came out of the sky this afternoon to tell us that the Big Ten is postponing its football season.
I’ll let them do the talking here:
The Big Ten Conference announced the postponement of the 2020-21 fall sports season, including all regular-season contests and Big Ten Championships and Tournaments, due to ongoing health and safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In making its decision, which was based on multiple factors, the Big Ten Conference relied on the medical advice and counsel of the Big Ten Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases and the Big Ten Sports Medicine Committee.
