They’re not changing their minds.
The Big Ten (specifically the conference’s Commissioner, Kevin Warren) has published “An Open Letter to the Big 10 Community” confirming the conference’s decision to postpone all fall sports, including football. This time, he didn’t leave any wiggle room:
“The vote by the Big Ten Council of Presidents and Chancellors was overwhelmingly in support of postponing fall sports and will not be revisited. The decision was thorough and deliberative, and based on sound feedback, guidance and advice from medical experts,” Warren wrote in the letter.
The letter was published to the conference’s official website Wednesday evening, following days of unrest and confusion among the conference and the sport.
