As the calendar turns to June next week, it will bring important decisions soon after regarding whether Big Ten athletics will take place this fall. All organized on campus team activities have been prohibited by the conference since March with June 1st as the current date for it to expire, after being previously extended. It could expire after this weekend or be extended again. However, with the NCAA having already announced that Division I programs could resume voluntary workouts on June 1st, there is hope the Big Ten will follow suit.
The bigger question is whether fall sports and most importantly due to the financial impact the sport has, football, will take place as typically scheduled in the coming months?
