Well there it is.
The Big Ten Conference announced Thursday that “if the Conference is able to participate in fall sports (men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, football, men’s and women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball) based on medical advice, it will move to Conference-only schedules in those sports. “
This announcement cancels Nebraska’s 2020 home football games against Central Michigan, Cincinnati and South Dakota State. It doesn’t mean that the remaining nine games on Nebraska’s football schedule are assured, as the conference announcement closed with this statement:
“As we continue to focus on how to play this season in a safe and responsible way, based on the best advice of medical experts, we are also prepared not to play in order to ensure the health, safety and wellness of our student-athletes should the circumstances so dictate.
