The Big Ten has officially announced the return of the fall 2020 football season today. The 2020 season will start the weekend of Oct. 23-24. Now, Mel Tucker is finally set to coach his very first game as Michigan State football’s head coach.
Earlier today, Tucker released a statement on the Big Ten’s decision to play. Here is what he had to say:
“From daily antigen testing for all of our players, coaches, and staff to extensive cardiac protocols and protection, the Big Ten Conference and Michigan State are leading the charge to put our players on the field safely and competitively.
Our players have been relentlessly training in our strength and conditioning program and we will be ready to compete. Thank you to all our Spartan fans for your support and the Big Ten Task Force and the medical leaders who got us here today. Go Green!”
