College REPORTS: BIG TEN TO CANCEL 2020 CFB SEASON by Peter Snyder August 10, 2020 Another domino falls in college football as the Big Ten is set to cancel its 2020 season. According to multiple reports, an official announcement should come later this week. Updated: “It’s done.” Big Ten football expected to cancel 2020 season https://t.co/ir96jXjCE1 — Chris Solari (@chrissolari) August 10, 2020 In a vote that took place Sunday night, which involved all 14 of the Big Ten schools’ presidents, it was decided that the season would be canceled after 12 of the 14 schools voted against having a season. Nebraska and Iowa were the only two universities in the Big Ten to vote in favor for a season this fall. Dan Patrick reports Big Ten had internal vote & by 12-2 margin, league members opted on not having a fall football season. Nebraska & Iowa were only schools that voted to play this fall, @dpshow said. Patrick said Big Ten & Pac-12 would cancel fall seasons Tuesday — Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) August 10, 2020 This decision comes off the weighing concerns that our county faces regarding the coronavirus pandemic. As the Big Ten now becomes the first major conference to cancel college football (The MAC cancelled its fall football season and UCONN became the first FBS school to cancel earlier in the week), it will be interesting to see if their decision becomes a trend or rather a fad. Huge news: Mid-American cancels fall football season because of COVID player health & safety concerns, sources told @Stadium. MAC took a huge financial hit when Power 5’s cut nonconference games & intends to try & play in spring, sources said #RIPMACtion https://t.co/V8F488nrF0 — Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) August 8, 2020 Post Views: 596 The following two tabs change content below.BioLatest Posts Peter Snyder Peter Snyder is an Intern sportswriter who covers collegiate athletics as well as professional sports.
