With the Big Ten football season on life support, some players are speaking out on social media using #WeWantToPlay.
The longtime radio/TV host said Monday that based on information he received, the Big Ten and Pac-12 will cancel their seasons Tuesday. The ACC and the Big 12 are on the fence, and the SEC is trying to “buy time” to see if it can play.
Patrick also tweeted that 12 of the Big Ten’s 14 presidents/chancellors voted against a fall season, with Iowa and Nebraska in the minority.
Those two dissenting schools make sense considering it was Iowa athletic director Gary Barta who surprised his Big Ten colleagues in late May by suggesting that Kinnick Stadium could potentially host “as many fans who want to join us” at games.
