Big Ten Conference Commissioner Kevin Warren published a letter Wednesday reaffirming the league’s decision to postpone 2020 fall sports.
“We thoroughly understand and deeply value what sports mean to our student-athletes, their families, our coaches and our fans,” Warren said. “The vote by the Big Ten Council of Presidents and Chancellors (COP/C) 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.”
Since the announcement that fall sports were postponed on August 11, little had been revealed about what went into the decision.
