Big Ten football will be played, but there will be no fans in the stands.
When the Big Ten kicks off its season the weekend of Oct. 24, it will do it from empty stadiums as the conference has decided not to sell tickets to the public for the 2020-21 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Though fans will not be permitted, Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour said the conference will work to accommodate players' families.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith expressed his support for the Big Ten's decision to play without fans in the stands this fall.
