Big Ten to postpone 2020 college football season

If there’s gonna be a Big Ten football season, it’ll have to wait until the Spring of 2021.

That appears to be the plan for at least one Power 5 conference, as the Big Ten schools have voted to postpone the 2020 college football season, with hopes of playing in the Spring, the conference announced Tuesday:

The move comes after smaller FBS conferences such as the MAC and Mountain West have already cancelled their fall sports for 2020, and as the rest of the Power 5 weigh similar decisions amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

It remains to be seen what impact this could have on the 2021 NFL Draft, or the potential transfer of Big Ten prospects to schools in other conferences that may still try to play in 2020.
