Listen "Did the Big Ten Conference Make the Right Decision Cancelling the 2020 season?"
Episode Synopsis
The Big Ten Conference has decided to pull the plug on the 2020 Football season choosing public health over college football Saturdays. Leaving many to wonder was it the right decision and where is the consistent leadership in college football? The conference is hopeful of playing in spring 2021. With this decision, the Big Ten has become the first Power Five conference to decide not to play this fall amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Pac 12 conference decided shortly after the Big Ten announcement to proceed in the same direction, axing their football season out west too due to the pandemic. Big Ten coaches -- including Ohio State's Ryan Day, Michigan's Jim Harbaugh, Penn State's James Franklin, and Nebraska's Scott Frost -- publicly advocated for playing the 2020 season. However, their pleas and those of Big Ten players were not enough to change the collective minds of Big Ten leaders. Therefore, simply stated what’s the future of college football at large. Harold Shelton III is the Manager of Research at the Big Ten Network. He joined me this week to discuss the situation in further detail.
