According to Dan Patrick of the Dan Patrick Show, the Big Ten has voted to cancel the 2020 college football season. A source told Patrick that both the Big Ten and Pac-12 will cancel their respective seasons on Tuesday.

Per Patrick’s source, Big Ten presidents all voted 12-2 to not play this upcoming fall, including MSU president Samuel Stanley. The only two teams to vote in favor of playing were Iowa and Nebraska.

Yesterday, there were already plenty of rumors swirling that the Big Ten would cancel football. No football this fall season is not fun but best for the health and safety of players. Even if this means we have 2021 spring season followed by a 2021 fall season.
