The Big Ten Conference released a statement on Wednesday prior to the kickoff of the conference tournament in Indianapolis this week to address the COVID-19 (coronavirus) effects on the scheduled event. As of now, everything is set to go on as planned with teams and spectator access still in place. The only change is to the media protocols by which the beat writers will follow.
Here is the full statement from the Big Ten:
The Big Ten Conference’s main priority is to ensure the safety of our students, coaches, administrators, event staff, fans and media as we continue to monitor all relevant information on the COVID-19 virus.
