In response to persistent criticism from players, parents, coaches and fans, Big Ten Conference commissioner Kevin Warren issued an “open letter” Wednesday going into greater detail about the league’s decision to postpone fall sports.
The most pertinent sentence for anyone clinging to a thin hope that the league would change its mind and play football this fall: “The vote by the Big Ten Council of Presidents and Chancellors (COP/C) was overwhelmingly in support of postponing fall sports and will not be revisited.” That sentence also should end this week’s narrative that no vote was taken.
