If there is one word I think we are all getting sick of hearing, it’s ‘uncertainty.’ Well, it looks like some uncertainty surrounding this upcoming college football season might become a real certainty tomorrow, as rumors have swirled Sunday evening that the Big Ten Conference will be canceling the Fall College Football season this week.
According to numerous reports, the Presidents and Chancellors of all the Big Ten Conference schools met tonight along with the Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren to discuss this upcoming season, and according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports, the prevailing sentiment on the call was to cancel the fall season.
Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio also posted a similar report. According to his sources, the Big Ten will most likely be announcing the cancellation of College Football in the Fall on Monday:
Just got a text that Big Ten will announce they are cancelling College Football this Fall likely tomorrow

While I also have some concerns about pushing the season to the spring and making college players play both a spring and fall season next year, the most immediate need will be to keep players healthy this fall and this seems like a logical way to do that.
