The Big Ten Conference announced Thurday it will not play nonconference games in football or several other sports this fall because of the coronavirus pandemic. The league cited med- ical advice in reaching its decision, the biggest yet by a power conference, and added ominously that the plan would be applied only "if the conference is able to participate in fall sports." Besides football, the sports affected include men's and women's cross country, field hockey, men's and women's soccer and women's volleyball. "By limiting competi- tion to other Big Ten insti- tutions, the conference will have the greatest flexibility to adjust its own opera- tions throughout the sea- son and make quick deci- sions in real-time based on the most current evolving medical advice and the fluid nature of the pan- demic," the Big Ten said in a statement.
