The reality that college football might not be played this fall became impossible to ignore over the past week.
The Big Ten canceled all non-conference games, as did the Pac-12, while several lower-level conferences canceled their fall sports seasons altogether. Ohio State was forced to pause its voluntary workouts due to COVID-19 cases before reopening on Tuesday. And many college athletics leaders, including Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, acknowledged great concern over whether it will actually be feasible to play college football in 2020.
So that's the main topic of discussion once again on this week's episode of Real Pod Wednesdays, as we consider why the Big Ten made the decision it did now and whether that could help the conference salvage the 2020 season.
