Big Ten players submit proposal for protection of college athletes during COVID-19 pandemic

Big Ten players released a list of proposals via The Players’ Tribune on Wednesday asking the Big Ten and NCAA to protect the well-being of all-student athletes during the coronavirus pandemic. This comes in unison with the announcement of the proposed schedules for football for the 2020 season.

The College Athlete Unity organization — which says it seeks to address the injustice and inequality by using the platform that the athletes have — have submitted a proposal and are in discussions with the Big Ten on how to best protect everyone involved in intercollegiate athletics this fall.
