Nebraska 'Committed' to Big Ten, Won't Play Fall Football

Nebraska ended speculation about its attempt to play football in the fall of 2020 with a statement affirming the school's commitment to the Big Ten.

"The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a fully committed member of the Big Ten Conference. "It is an unparalleled athletic and academic alliance," chancellor Ronnie Green and president Ted Carter said in a statement. "This has been a difficult and disappointing week for the Husker family. We look forward to the day when we can cheer on our student athletes, on the field and in the arena."

The Big Ten announced its decision to cancel the 2020 fall season on Tuesday.
