The sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the decision. A formal announcement is expected to Tuesday, the sources said.

The presidents voted, 12-2, to end the fall sports in the conference. Only Nebraska and Iowa voted to play, Dan Patrick said on his radio show Monday.

The move occurred after Big Ten presidents and chancellors met on Sunday night to “discuss the future of the season,” according to Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel.
