At 5:38 p.m. Saturday, a friend who happens to be a Power Five basketball coach calls my cell with urgency in his tone.
He had just read something on his phone. Some sort of news report.
"They're fixin' to cancel the football season in the Big Ten," he said. "Presidents are meeting."
Old news, I tell him.
Fake news.
But I fully understand the confusion. I fully understand college football fans' confusion, especially those fans who stare at Twitter all day.
What a sewer.
Confused by all the anonymous sources and speculation?
