Just a little over a month after the Big Ten announced that it was postponing all fall sports, football will be back.
The news originally broke on Tuesday morning after a hot mic picked up University of Nebraska president Ted Carter saying the return was to be announced Tuesday night.
The Big Ten was one of two Power-5 conferences to postpone fall sports as the ACC, SEC, and Big 12 carried on business as usual over the weekend. Several Illinois football players took to social media to voice their frustrations in recent weeks as other conferences opened up their seasons.
