A tweet from the President:

Had a very productive conversation with Kevin Warren, Commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, about immediately starting up Big Ten football. Would be good (great!) for everyone – Players, Fans, Country. On the one yard line!

In a statement by the Big Ten, it mentioned that the conference is “exhausting every resource to help student-athletes get back to playing the sports they love, at the appropriate time, in the safest and healthiest way possible.”

The question now is, what will the Pac-12 do now? Could the Pac-12 be the only Power Five conference to not play football this Fall? Only time will tell.

The ACC, SEC, and Big 12 are playing, and the Big Ten is meeting with the president.
