"See you later, college football.

The Big Ten has voted to cancel the 2020 college football season in a historic move that stems from concerns related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, multiple people with knowledge of the decision confirmed to the Free Press.

The sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the decision. A formal announcement is expected to Tuesday, the sources said.

The presidents voted, 12-2, Sunday to end the fall sports in the conference. Michigan and Michigan State — which both has physicians as presidents — voted to end the season, sources said. Only Nebraska and Iowa voted to play, Dan Patrick said on his radio show Monday.

The move comes two days after the Mid-American Conference became the first in the FBS to cancel ts season, and sources told the Free Press the Big Ten is trying to coordinate its announcement with other Power Five conferences."

The MAC already cancelled. This is a good move to keep our student athletes alive

I love college football, but we have to keep people safe.

Bubble wrap the entire country, at least until November.

How many 80 year old college football players are there these days?

You think kids are magically immune? You think kids can't cant suffer permanent disability (lung, heart damage in half of covid patients) from covid?

Just for your entertainment. Madness.

Saddened to hear it, but it’s the right thing to do.

Then why are Andrew Cuomo and Chuck Schumer insisting that in person schooling needs to begin this fall?

Btw I finally, just today, heard of the very first person that I know who tested positive.

He is probably 75 years old (with multiple comorbidities) and completely asymptomatic. Just pissed that he has to quarantine.

“Needs to”?

No.

“May” is the word you’re looking for. As in, “in person school MAY start this year”, because New York got its infection rates under control, are prepared to test and mask and social distance.

It's not like any of the teams in the Big 10 except Ohio state had a realistic chance at a National Title.

Just imagine if they decide to not have Big Boy Football and the SEC and Clemson don't play.

We should listen to Pissy and Gym Jordan.



Remember, if there is anything Gym Jordan and Pissy can be trusted to protect, it's the health and well-being of college athletes.
