B1G city mayors send letter to Big Ten Conference ahead of season opener

Twelve mayors of Big Ten communities signed a letter that was sent to the conference Tuesday morning, asking that the conference take a few practical measures to ensure each college and university community is better prepared for the continued fight against COVID-19.

Madison, Wisconsin’s mayor, Satya Rhodes-Conway, was one of the mayors that signed the letter. The other mayors were from the cities that contain these schools: Michigan State, Michigan, Maryland, Penn State, Northwestern, Purdue, Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa and Ohio State. You’ll note that Nebraska and Rutgers are the two teams absent.
