Ever since Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren and university presidents announced the postponement of the fall football season, criticism has come from more angles than a protractor convention. Not only have football parents, fans, and administrators unleashed an avalanche of scathing remarks on what many have called poor leadership, transparency, and decision-making, but so too have a large portion of the media.
It should be noted once again that trying to do what’s right to please everyone during a global pandemic is an almost no-win situation. But it’s hard to imagine the Big Tem public relations folks in Chicago being satisfied with the way things have been handled so far.
It’s unlikely the barbs and sideways glances are going to stop anytime soon, and for further proof of that, ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt has now gotten into the fray with some harsh words for Warren and the Big Ten.
Watch the segment that was shared by Unnecessary Roughness and hear SVP absolutely demolish the Big Ten and its leaders. And if reading the comments are more your style, we’ve got the full transcript of Van Pelt’s scathing remarks after the video.
