Not so fast: Spokesman says no vote has taken place on Big Ten canceling season

It appears that reports of the Big Ten already voting to cancel the 2020 football season might have been premature, even if it might still be headed that direction. Multiple college football media members, including The Athletic’s Nicole Auerbach, Yahoo! Sports’ Pete Thamel and ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg have been informed by a conference spokesman that no vote has taken place by university presidents or chancellors to cancel the season.

Furthermore, it seems like the report from Dan Patrick also is coming into question, as he said early Monday on his show that schools had voted 12-2 in favor of the cancelation with Nebraska and Iowa being the only holdouts.

However, Sean Callihan of Husker Online is saying that the 12-2 vote more had to do with a call of medical officials taking stock on who was comfortable moving forward at the current juncture.

Obviously, everything is fluid and extremely fast-developing at the moment, so following along with every bit and piece of rumors might not be what the doctor ordered for a mental health standpoint. The long and the short of it is that it still looks like we are headed down a road of the season potentially not being played, but no final determinations have been made.

With the rumors swirling earlier on Monday, Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh put out a statement advocating to try to play this fall, which can be read in full here.
