Michigan Football Families send letter to Big Ten and President Schlissel with requests

The families of Michigan Wolverines football players are calling on the Big Ten and university president Mark Schlissel to explain to them the rationale for canceling the football season last week, they said in a letter that was made public on Monday morning.

The families are united in asking for video meetings with the Big Ten and Schlissel to discuss the decisions that were made and also an attempt to sway them to undo the cancelation of the season.

Michigan parents were complimentary of the program’s ability to keep their sons safe throughout the offseason and urged administration to let the players be a part of the conversation.
