Report: Big Ten Cancels Fall Football Season, Will Attempt to Play in Spring

The Big Ten has voted to cancel the fall college football season due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic, according to Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel.

Thamel reports the conference will attempt to play in spring 2021.

The historic move comes amid heavy debate over the future of the season. The first domino fell when the Mid-American Conference postponed all sports on Saturday. The Big Ten followed with an announcement that it was pausing its scheduled progression to full-pads football practices. On Sunday, Sources told Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger and Pat Forde that high-level conference meetings are being planned for this week across the sport with the expected resolution of postponing fall sports until 2021.
