#WeWantToPlay: College football players make voices heard as season sits on the brink

College football players are speaking out in an attempt to save their season.

Administrators from the Big Ten Conference and the rest of the Power 5 conferences met this weekend and multiple reports said the conclusion from those talks were to cancel the college football season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Late Sunday night, players made their voices heard on social media, using the hashtag “#WeWantToPlay.” The hashtag became the No. 1 trend in the United States on Twitter and became a rallying cry not only for the 2020 season, but for a change in the structure of college football entirely.
