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

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.
