Upon further review — not to mention, parent protests, player petitions and threats of lawsuits — the Big Ten's presidents and chancellors were meeting again Sunday, deliberating whether to bring back fall sports, including football.
According to multiple national reports, the conference's leadership was on a Zoom call well into the evening Sunday, though there was no indication a vote had yet taken place. That vote could come in the coming days, after presidents and chancellors take the detailed medical data they received over the weekend back to their own teams of doctors and regents or trustees.
To resurrect the season, the Big Ten needed to flip six votes — from three yays last time around, to nine this time — to reach the 60% threshold required by the conference's bylaws.
