The news that we have been dreading for the past 24 hours, and in reality the past five months, is here. The Detroit Free Press reported just minutes ago that sources have confirmed there will be no fall football in 2020.
Orion Sang and David Jesse broke the story, after Dan Patrick announced that the Big Ten had voted 12-2 in favor of not playing.

This decision comes just two days after the MAC became the first FBS conference to cancel the season.

The news comes just one week after we had new conference schedules in the Big Ten. The tide has turned fast.
