On Monday, sportscaster Dan Patrick reported that the Big Ten and Pac-12 will cancel their 2020 football seasons. The report has yet to be confirmed by either conference, but it paints a bleak picture for those holding out hope that a season might still kick off next month. It also comes amid an outcry from college athletes who still want to take the field this fall.
Pitt football players Cal Adomitis, Jaylon Barden, Paris Ford, Damar Hamlin, Bryce Hargrove, Shocky Jacques-Louis, Lucas Krull, Jimmy Morrissey, Kenny Pickett and Rashad Weaver have all publicly voiced their support for the 2020 season to be played, with the majority of them posting messages on Twitter that include the #WeWantToPlay hashtag.
