‘A cultural loss’: Big Ten makes it official, postpones football season

It will be quiet on campuses this fall.

There will be no Saturday tailgates with tens of thousands of fans packing Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor and Spartan Stadium in East Lansing.

The same can be said for playing fields throughout the Big Ten and the Pac-12 as the two Power Five conferences announced on Tuesday they would not play sports in the fall due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic but will explore options for the spring.
