Sunday, Aug. 9 is going to be a night long remembered in the college football.

The players took to Twitter and started a movement. This came in response to a decision from the Big 10 to potentially cancel its fall season, although it doesn’t mean it can’t move to the spring.

The reports started a movement we haven’t seen before. The Pac-12 had 400 players come out and make players union-like demands for this season and beyond. After the Big 10’s decision, Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence and Ohio State’s Justin Fields led players from every power-five conference.

They started a #WeWantToPlay hashtag based on the idea that players needed representation on this decision. At least four Oklahoma players got in on the movement.

Oklahoma was scheduled to begin the 2020 season on Aug. 29 against Missouri State, but that has been pushed back to an unannounced date, although Sept. 5 seems likely. The Big 12 and its board of directors are set to discuss the 2020 season on Tuesday.
