Following a morning meeting of the conference’s presidents, the Big Ten on Tuesday decided to cancel the college football season for fall 2020 with hopes of playing in spring 2021. With this decision, the Big Ten has become the first Power Five conference to decide not to play this fall amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement released Tuesday, the Big Ten announced that “multiple factors” including the “medical advice and counsel” from its experts led to what it is deeming the “postponement of the 2020-21 fall sports season.”
The Big Ten’s cancellation affects all fall sports,including cross country, field hockey, soccer and volleyball.
What are the other Power Five conferences in their decision to cancel their fall 2020 seasons?
PAC-12 Presidents are meeting Tuesday afternoon to decide just that.
UPDATE: PAC-12 has decided to cancel their Fall Football Season hopes to play in Spring 2021.
The SEC and ACC appear prepared to move forward, while the
Big 12 is currently in limbo.
