CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Illinois athletic director Josh Whitman is back to work, brainstorming ideas on how to proceed after fall sports were cancelled.
Whitman said he met separately with the football, soccer, volleyball, and men’s and women’s cross country teams to have a conversation about what is happening and what will happen moving forward after the Big Ten postponed all fall sports on Tuesday. There was a 90-minute call with over 400 people, including student-athletes and their families, where over 75 questions were asked.
According to Whitman, the two biggest questions revolve around the spring and eligibility.
