Kevin Warren, Big Ten release open letter on sticking with fall sports postponement

Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren released an open letter Wednesday and confirmed that decision on fall sports will not be revisited.

Ever since the Big Ten announced the postponement of the fall football season for 2020, there has been some extreme pushback from different corners of the college football world, and it’s come from all angles really.

From coaches, to players, to even parents, there’s been a real push to make conference commissioner Kevin Warren revisit what many viewed as a short-sighted and premature decision to shelve things ahead of students even arriving on campus.

Despite it all, Warren and the Big Ten have been very silent on the criticism and outrage many have shown, almost as though the hope was that it would just go quietly into the night.

Now, finally — even mercifully, the Big Ten has released a statement in the wake of all the controversy, and it’ll probably do little to calm the storm of chaos that has encompassed the conference over the last week or so.

Regardless, we are passing it on like good stewards and will have more on this later, so stay tuned.
