- Big Ten moving to conference-only model for all sports this fall
- Soccer, cross country, field hockey and volleyball also affected
- SEC, ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12 all say they plan to play fall sports
The Big Ten Conference announced Thursday it will not play nonconference games in football and several other sports this fall, the most dramatic move yet by a power conference because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The conference cited medical advice in making its decision and added ominously that the plan would be applied only “if the conference is able to participate in fall sports”.
