The Big Ten conference continues to burn.
After players and parents have spoken out on the decision to postpone the fall football season for 2020, and after Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields organized an online petition for the same, we now have another spirited Buckeye looking to plant a flag towards the same cause. Buckeye cornerback Shaun Wade’s father, Randy, is looking to take a stand.
Only this time, he’s taking the fight to the Big Ten offices and commissioner Kevin Warren.
According to a tweet from Randy Wade, he’s calling on all Big Ten fans to join him in Chicago for a peaceful protest to call further attention to a call on the Big Ten to reverse its decision and reinstate the fall football season. It is set for Friday morning.
He shared a snapshot of the plane ticket he purchased for a flight from Orlando to Chicago on Twitter Monday night with a rallying cry.
You have to give it to Wade for standing up for his son and the other Ohio State and Big Ten players that are looking to put pressure on the Big Ten to provide answers, transparency, and even consider a reversal of the move that was made to postpone the season to next spring.
We’ll keep an eye on this and see what kind of reaction it might get from the Big Ten, and how many actually show up in Chicago with Wade to help the cause.
Get your popcorn because this could get fun.
