Brett McMurphy followed up with DP’s report that the Big Ten also voted to cancel the season. However, other reporters disputed DP’s reporting on the Big Ten.
Big Ten spokesman says “no vote has been held by our presidents and chancellors.”

Also, John Talty of AL.com (Alabama) reports the SEC and ACC are not as keen on canceling the season.
Sources have said the SEC and the ACC are the most aligned at this point. The whole thing could hinge on if B12 sides with B10/Pac-12 or SEC/ACC. https://t.co/x4jZ1J7xeK

Meanwhile, late Sunday night players across the major Power 5 Conferences posted a photo indicating they are united and want to play a college football season this fall. They also have a list of unified demands, including the formation of a college football players association.
Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Ohio State QB Justin Fields both posted the image on Twitter. Both are considered to be the top two quarterback prospects for next year’s NFL draft.
