Ever since the Big Ten’s postponement of fall sports on August 11, reactions from several different groups, particularly from those involved with college football, have run the gamut.
A number of players, including some Northwestern athletes, took to Twitter supporting the #WeWantToPlay movement. Some Big Ten football parents, led by Ohio State defensive back Shaun Wade’s father Randy, traveled to conference headquarters in Rosemont, Illinois, to demand a meeting with commissioner Kevin Warren. Most recently, news broke that eight players on the Nebraska football team filed a lawsuit the Big Ten, which is even more notable given the school’s public flirtation with the idea of attempting to play a season this fall despite the B1G’s postponement.
