Western Kentucky's fall sports schedules won't go as originally planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Big Ten Conference announced Thursday around 3 p.m. CST it would move to a conference-only schedule for fall sports. WKU's football program was scheduled to travel to Indiana for a Sept. 12 game.
"We are facing uncertain and unprecedented times, and the health, safety and wellness of our student-athletes, coaches, game officials, and others associated with our sports programs and campuses remain our number one priority," the conference's statement said.
"To that end, the Big Ten Conference announced today that if the Conference is able to participate in fall sports (men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, football, men’s and women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball) based on medical advice, it will move to Conference-only schedules in those sports.
