To the NCAA and the Big Ten Conference,
College Athlete Unity (CAU) is going on record to express the concerns of over 1,000 Big Ten football players. CAU members represent 23 different varsity sports at schools in every major conference, as well as across every NCAA division, the NAIA, and U Sport (Canada). CAU seeks to empower collegiate athletes to use their platforms for change. We support the right of all athletes to stand up and speak out.
While we appreciate the Big Ten’s recently announced plan for the upcoming season, we believe that the conference’s proposal falls short in certain areas.
