Sources: Big Ten inching closer to return-to-play vote

For the Big Ten potentially returning to college football this fall, sources said the league has taken the step before the final step.

As part of the league’s return-to-competition task force, the medical committee made a lengthy presentation to the steering committee of eight presidents and chancellors on Saturday afternoon. Sources said that league officials have decided to present the league’s plan to return to play – medical, scheduling and television – formally to the full Big Ten Council of Presidents and Chancellors (COPC), sources told Yahoo Sports. That presentation is expected to take place on Sunday and culminate eventually with a vote, but that COPC vote isn’t guaranteed to take place directly after the expected presentation on Sunday.
