Big Ten football players are following the Pac-12's lead in forming a unity group.
A number of athletes who are part of the advocacy group College Athlete Unity released a proposal Wednesday expressing "the concerns of over 1,000 Big Ten football players" and lists a series of COVID-19 protocols that the group hopes to see implemented before the start of any college football season.
The proposal, announced in The Players' Tribune shortly after the Big Ten released updated schedules and testing and medical protocols for all sports, seeks to protect the health and safety of Big Ten football players in light of what the group feels has been an inadequate response from the NCAA.
