The Mid-American Conference announced their plan to cancel all fall sports, including football, on Saturday, August 8. A day later, it seems like Ohio State and the Big Ten might be headed in the same direction.

According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk, the “Big Ten could be the next conference to cancel football.”

All 14 Big Ten presidents met yesterday and were considering multiple options, including following the MAC’s decision and canceling all fall sports for the upcoming 2020-21 season.
