Welcome to Buckeye Bits, our daily news roundup of all things Ohio State. It’s Tuesday, which means it has been officially one week since the Big Ten decided to cancel the 2020 fall season, and still we are left with way more questions than answers.
Personally, I am in the camp that the conference’s decision will ultimately end up being the right one, but the way it has been handled from start to finish has been wholly incorrect. Even if you fully believe you could not safely play football at this time, there is absolutely no reason the season could not have been postponed until the end of September, giving you additional time to figure things out and hope the country’s handling of the pandemic improves in that time — even as unlikely as that appears.
