In the week since the Big Ten announced last Tuesday that it was shutting down its fall sports and postponing the football season to spring, the parents of Ohio State football players have not been quiet about sharing their thoughts on the decision.
Football Parents at Ohio State, a coalition of many of the team’s parents, sent a letter to Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren on Saturday calling on him to reconsider the decision not to play and be transparent with players and their parents about why that decision was made. Many parents have also been vocal on their own social media accounts about sharing both their disagreement with the Big Ten’s decision and support for Ryan Day and Ohio State’s efforts to keep their sons safe.
