A little over a week ago, the Big Ten cancelled the 2020 fall season because of fears surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. While the conference’s leaders have put shockingly little thought into what happens next, the people in charge at Ohio State have been doing quite the opposite. In fact, in his press conference last Wednesday, Ryan Day laid out a plan for college football to be played in the winter.
There are obviously a number of hoops to jump through in order to make that reality, but it seems as though the Buckeyes’ head coach has put more thought into the future of his program and its student-athletes than Kevin Warren and his constituents did when they made their hasty decision to cancel less than five days after releasing an updated fall schedule.
