Big Ten To Play After All!!
Fall is just not the same without Big Ten football. After the first full week of college football, rumors are circulating that the Big Ten will resume playing after all and I’m beyond excited!
The Presidents and Chancellors of the conference had their second meeting on Sunday night. Although no vote took place, it’s looking more like football will happen.
According to ESPN, one of the main differences for the presidents to consider now is the new availability of at least four rapid- response antigen testing options that could allow Big Ten teams to test daily for COVID-19 and significantly decrease the amount of necessary contact tracing.
#B1G presidents meeting continues this afternoon. No news yet on a vote, although there's optimism around a return to play. The big change from first time, sources say, is the confidence from Big Ten's medical community that competition is doable, especially with rapid testing.

A vote is expected to happen in the next couple of days and football could be back October 17th.
