The Big Ten presidents voted on Tuesday to cancel the fall football season, sources told Yahoo Sports. The league is going to attempt to play the season in the spring, sources said.
The Big Ten’s decision marks an important one in the college football landscape, as it marks the first major conference to decide to cancel fall football. The Big Ten joins the MAC and Mountain West Conference in canceling the fall football season.
The Big Ten decision came while Pac-12 presidents were on a call on Thursday to discuss the fate of their season. With the virus inhibiting numerous Pac-12 schools’ ability to practice, it’s expected that the Pac-12 will follow the Big Ten’s lead.
