Just when things are starting to get back to a path of normal in some states with reopening activities occurring, the Big Ten sends us all a reminder that this COVID-19 pandemic is far from over.
According to a release by the conference Monday, the order to suspend all Big Ten organized team activities has been extended through June 1. That’s an additional timeframe added to the order already in place to suspend all activities until the end of the academic year, which is quickly approaching for all schools in the conference.
This also includes the suspension of all on and off-campus recruiting activities that were originally shelved until further notice. That too will remain in effect.
The Big Ten Conference will continue to use this time to work with the appropriate medical experts and institutional leadership to determine next steps relative to the COVID-19 pandemic according to the release.
