Scott Van Pelt rips Big Ten: “Why not play in late September?”

ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt had some pointed words directed at those holding power within the Big Ten conference. Van Pelt called out university presidents for allowing students on campus but shutting down the fall season, and questioned why the conference can’t start the football season in late September.

Here are SVP’s comments in which he calls some of their return to play ideas nonsense.

“Unfortunately lawsuits, parents writing letters, the President (Trump) tweeting aren’t gonna get us Big Ten football this fall, but maybe Thanksgiving. I can’t say this more clearly, this is nonsense. How the hell are you not playing the fall but start in November.
