BREAKING: Big Ten Conference announces it will play football this fall, a reversal from the league's move last month to push back the 2020 season because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren defended the league's 180-degree turn, saying that conditions — specifically, rapid testing technology — had changed.

Northwestern University President Morton Schapiro said Big Ten leaders were uniform in their decision to move forward with fall football.

Pathetic decision that will cost people lives. Look at Oregon team. Most of the players have covid. Michigan/Michigan State all have outbreaks.

circuses

This is going to end badly. All for Trump and money. Shameful.

Unconscionable

PaHouseDems Yes!!! Let’s go.

What could go wrong. Oh, and they should pay those players.

Idiots...all of them

Let me get this straight...many college students will not attend school after Thanksgiving but college football can play games almost until Christmas...sounds about right in this screwed up world we now live in...

$$$$

Death-count 9/16 in countries that took prompt aggressive action: S. Korea: 367 Japan: 1,451 Hong Kong: 102 Taiwan: 7 NZ: 25 AU: 824 The US where Trump called COVID-19 a hoax & ignored it for 70 days, faced huge deficit of ventilators/masks/PPEs US COVID-19 Deaths Tops 200,280

So they’ll be starting up when everyone else has to shut down due to Covid. Good planning! 🤪

Let’s get that herd immunity. They can spread it faster than adults

Bottom line $$$$$

Thank you, realDonaldTrump The President brought Mideast Peace AbrahamAccord and he brought back college football. NFL SUCKS

Bowing to pressure, Big Ten will begin eight-game football season in OctoberBowing to pressure from players, coaches and politicians, the Big Ten’s presidents decided to move forward with an eight-game football season beginning on Oct. 24. They bowed to parents and boosters. Bowing to greed. College football is BIG money for the BIG Ten. More people will die Worldwide from TB this year. The basic fact is that this Virus was never the threat to healthy people under 75, especially children and youth that we were told.

Big Ten changes course, aims for October start to footballLess than five weeks after pushing football and other fall sports to spring in the name of player safety during the pandemic, the conference changes course and says it plans to begin its season the weekend of Oct. 24. Sits back and watches as every player gets Covid and then they panic and start cancelling things. Because the leadership is a bunch of idiots. Who rushed to a decision when there was plenty of time to wait and evaluate. Absolutely not acceptable reason for the bigten to not fire KevinFWarren. Who do the parents/players sue if there is death or permanent injury from getting Covid?
