Braxton Miller joins fray to demand Big Ten transparency on decision to postponed season

Former Ohio State QB Braxton Miller is selling t-shirts to support the Big Ten protest. Proceeds benefit the Inside Out Youth Organization.

We’ve seen a ton of guys weigh on on the Big Ten’s decision to postpone the fall football season. From Justin Fields’ petition, to various parent groups sending letters to commissioner Kevin Warren, to open records requests from attorney Tom Mars, the avalanche of criticism has been persistent.

Now, you can count former Ohio State star Braxton Miller in the camp throwing his weight behind players having the opportunity to play.

Miller has been sharing tweets to ask for support at the planned parent rally at the Horseshoe, and to offer you the opportunity to purchase some limited time t-shirts that ask the Big Ten for answers, but where the proceeds benefit a good cause. The money raised goes to the Inside Out Youth Orgainization.

From Miller on the Charg!ng the B1G webiste that sells the shirts.

“If I didn’t have the opportunity to play my 5th year after switching positions and the season was cancelled..I wouldn’t have experienced some of the best moments of my life. I had the opportunity to show I was able to play wide receiver and get drafted. The way the B1G TEN Conference has handled the postponement of the season lacked transparency, communication, and unprofessionalism. The student-athletes worked too hard for this to be taken away from them!! #WeWantToPlay”

Remember, Miller went down before the 2014 season with a shoulder injury. He then got the one year after rehabbing where he changed positions to wide receiver and was drafted by the Houston Texans in the 2016 NFL Draft. Without that season, he likely never becomes a third round draft pick.
