You had to feel like it was only a matter of time, even with the best of efforts and plans were in place to keep everyone safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. But in some ways, trying to get the college football season off the ground in 2020 was a lot like trying to steer your way through an asteroid shower — there was bound to be a hit and destruction the further along things went.
And so, we finally have the news we’ve all been dreading. The 2020 football season has been shelved that is supposed to be reported later Tuesday afternoon. That means no Ohio State football, no Justin Fields Heisman campaign, and not quest for another Big Ten and national title.
Sources: Big Ten is announcing that the fall is cancelled. League will attempt to play in the spring.

There are still developments that could occur, but reports seem to lean on the Big Ten trying to move the season to the spring. It’s now clear that we will not see any scarlet and gray uniforms come through the tunnel in September.
All we can do now is wait and see what the future holds. Hopefully, we get this pandemic under control and can see football again in the spring, and at the worst next fall.
For now, we’ll have to get our Ohio State fix by watching the Buckeyes destroy Michigan in reruns of the last fifteen years like we’ve been doing. Either that, or turn on the MLB, NHL, and upcoming NFL games.
