The coronavirus pandemic, which has ravaged the Midwest in recent weeks, upended a regional rite — the Big Ten Conference football season — on Wednesday, when No. 9 Wisconsin canceled a game and suspended team activities because of an outbreak in its ranks.
Wisconsin, which reached the Rose Bowl last season and had been scheduled to play at Nebraska on Saturday, said that at least a dozen people associated with its football program had recently tested positive for the virus, including six players and Coach Paul Chryst.
