The Big Ten is in the middle of a full blown crisis. The speculation is rampant as to when the league will actually play football after postponing all fall sports last month. There is a perceived lack of transparency between the decision makers and coaches, several of whom including Ohio State’s Ryan Day, Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh, and Penn State’s James Franklin have ratcheted up public pressure and have been critical of Commissioner Kevin Warren. Six states have had lawmakers submit letters urging the conference to reverse their decision. There is also a September 12 deadline to submit documents to the court in regard to a lawsuit brought on by 8 Nebraska players.
