This morning, the Big Ten released its schedule for the 2020 season, which calls for games to begin as early as September 3. Only a few hours later, a group of 1,000 Big Ten football players is calling upon the conference and the NCAA to put a better COVID-19 plan in place to ensure their safety.
In an article for The Players’ Tribune, the College Athlete Unity (CAU) shared the players’ concerns about the Big Ten’s current COVID-19 safety plan and the lack of leadership by the NCAA. When it comes to the latter, the language is pretty blistering, and rightly so.
