The Big Ten has a response for the politicians who want football back:
Join the club.
In a statement Wednesday afternoon, the conference acknowledged receiving a letter from a group of Midwest political leaders who wrote to commissioner Kevin Warren a day earlier that sports should resume.
Among the politicians who signed the letter: Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield and Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey. Politicians from Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin also signed the letter.
"We could not agree more with the group of Midwest legislators," the Big Ten said in a statement Wednesday.
