Through the first three weeks of the Big Ten season only one program experienced a significant COVID-19 outbreak: the Wisconsin Badgers.
Today that has officially changed as the Maryland Terrapins have announced they’ve experienced an “elevated number of COVID-19 cases within the program” and have canceled this weekend’s game against the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Due to an elevated number of COVID-19 cases within the program, Maryland Football will pause all team-related activities.
Our game vs. Ohio State scheduled for Saturday, November 14 has been canceled and will not be rescheduled. https://t.co/fR75D1L1ob

Like the Badgers’ two cancelations, the game will not be rescheduled and each school will play only seven conference games.
This will be interesting to watch as the week and the month progress, as with what we’ve seen in the Wisconsin program these things don’t tend to go away very quickly.
Over the past seven days, eight Maryland football players have tested positive for COVID-19. https://t.co/MYMlTjOozU
