Big 10 cancels fall football season, other conferences could follow

DALLAS (NEXSTAR) — The Big 10 is the first Power Five conference to announce it will cancel fall football and eye a potential spring season due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

This follows a weekend meeting of conference commissioners. It’s expected that others may follow the Big 10’s lead.

“Our primary responsibility is to make the best possible decisions in the interest of our students, faculty and staff,” said Morton Schapiro, Chair of the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors and Northwestern University President in a statement.
