Big Ten Set to Return

The Big Ten is set to return to the football field.

The conference announced today that after a review and input from the medical community, they are ready to compete again.

“From the onset of the pandemic, our highest priority has been the health and the safety of our students. The new medical protocols and standards put into place by the Big Ten Return To Competition Task Force were pivotal in the decision to move forward with sports in the conference,” said Morton Schapiro, Chair of the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors and Northwestern University President, and Chair of the Return to Competition Task Force Steering Committee. “We appreciate the conference’s dedication to developing the necessary safety procedures for our students and the communities that embrace them.”

The Big Ten will require their athletes, coaches, and other personnel to undergo daily antigen testing.

The Big Ten announced that they will resume their season on the weekend of October 23-24.
