The Big Ten Conference on Wednesday evening announced it is limiting attendance to all winter and spring sporting events because of concerns about COVID-19, throwing fans' plans to attend Nebraska athletics contests in the coming months into doubt.
The league most immediately said in a statement that nobody outside of, "student-athletes, coaches, event staff, essential team and Conference staff, TV network partners, credentialed media, and immediate family members of the participating teams" will be allowed in attendance for the Big Ten men's basketball tournament in Indianapolis after Wednesday's opening round — there will be fans on hand for Nebraska's opening game against Indiana, however.
