On Thursday, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s office released a statement that the mask requirement for athletes in the state applies to Big Ten football in the state, but that a face shield will be sufficient to pass the rules. They also said that the administration is open to changing the order for Big Ten play.
The rule currently requires a face mask for all athletes “except for occasional and fleeting moments.”
The mask rule is just one of many things the Big Ten and Michigan State will need to navigate after they reversed the decision to postpone the season until 2021 in favor of an Oct. 23rd start date.
