Big Ten, Pac-12 Postpone Fall College Football: What You Need to Know Big Ten, Pac-12 postpone fall college football: What you need to know https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29640578/big-ten-pac-... Big Ten, Pac-12 postpone fall college football: What you need to know ESPN 2dPaula Lavigne and Mark Schlabach play Will other conferences join Pac-12, Big Ten in postponing? (1:01) Paul Finebaum believes the Big 12 will ultimately determine whether the SEC and ACC decide to play college football this fall. (1:01) The Big Ten and the Pac-12 have postponed the fall college football season. What happens now? The impact of those decisions will be felt across the sports landscape, starting with the other Power 5 conferences. Beyond that, could Nebraska really go rogue and play anyway this fall, as it hinted in its post-decision statement? What does this mean for the NFL draft? And what about men's and women's basketball, which are affected by the Pac-12's decision to cancel all sporting events until at least Jan. 1? Here's what we know about those questions and more, following an unprecedented day in college sports history. What about the rest of the Power 5 conferences? The Big 12 will continue moving forward with the intent on playing fall football, multiple sources told ESPN on Tuesday, confirming a Yahoo Sports report. The conference's board of directors met for more than an hour Tuesday to discuss the future of the season in the midst of the Big Ten and Pac-12 decisions to postpone fall sports until 2021. Much attention was on the Big 12 meeting after the ACC and SEC publicly affirmed their intention to continue moving forward. The decision leaves three of the Power 5 conferences intent on playing for now. A revised Big 12 schedule is expected to be released soon, sources told ESPN. The ACC and SEC both put out statements following the Big Ten and Pac-12 decisions that indicate they are staying the course for now. "I look forward to learning more about the factors that led the Big Ten and Pac-12 leadership to take these actions today," SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement. "I remain comfortable with the thorough and deliberate approach that the SEC and our 14 members are taking to support a healthy environment for our student-athletes. 1 of 14 8/12/2020, 11:11 AM Big Ten, Pac-12 postpone fall college football: What you need to know https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29640578/big-ten-pac-... The American, widely considered as the top football conference in the Group of 5, is also closely watching the Big 12 and is likely to follow its lead, though most of the American's member schools in a meeting on Tuesday expressed the desire to continue moving forward, sources told ESPN. The potential for a fall season with the ACC, Big 12, SEC and the American all playing exists. -- Sam Khan Jr. What was the primary factor in the Big Ten's decision? Recent reports from the Big Ten task force for emerging infectious diseases and the Big Ten sports medicine committee proved incredibly influential. First-year commissioner Kevin Warren spoke to both groups extensively late last week, and heard information about long-term effects of COVID-19 on Big Ten athletes and others who had been infected with the virus. Information about myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart caused by viral infection, made Warren especially concerned. ESPN reported Monday that five Big Ten athletes have been diagnosed with myocarditis. Florida State president John Thrasher on Tuesday said two Power 5 commissioners brought up their concerns about myocarditis during a call with their colleagues Sunday. "There has been a lot of discussion about myocarditis," Warren told BTN after the league's announcement. "Any time you're talking about the heart of anyone, but especially a young person, you have to be concerned. We want to make sure we're doing everything we possibly can to keep our student-athletes safe." Warren reiterated that the general uncertainty surrounding playing fall sports during the pandemic would compromise athletes' health. Although the league took notice of the emotional statements from football coaches, players and others advocating for the season, Warren and most of the presidents ultimately didn't deviate from the position they reached Sunday. -- Adam Rittenberg What about the Pac-12? Basically the same as the Big Ten. "The health, safety and well-being of our student-athletes and all those connected to Pac-12 sports has been our number one priority since the start of this current crisis," said Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott in a statement. "Our student-athletes, fans, staff and all those who love college sports would like to have seen the season played this calendar year as originally planned, and we know how disappointing this is." Impacted Pac-12 student-athletes will continue to have their scholarships guaranteed. The conference is also encouraging the NCAA to grant eligibility to athletes who opt out of an eventual winter or spring season or if the conference is forced to cancel sports for the entirety of the 2020-21 academic year. The league's medical advisory group had "concerns that many of its current recommendations cannot be achieved consistently across all universities at this point in time. Currently, the availability of frequent, FDA-approved, accurate testing with rapid turn-around time vary at each of the Pac-12 institution locations. In addition, in many locations within the Conference, community test positivity 2 of 14 8/12/2020, 11:11 AM Big Ten, Pac-12 postpone fall college football: What you need to know https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29640578/big-ten-pac-... rates and number of cases per 100,000 in the surrounding community exceed levels which infectious disease and public health officials deem safe for group sports." -- Kyle Bonagura Do both conferences plan on playing in the spring? As of now, yes. The Big Ten will turn its attention to whether a spring football season is possible. There's ample skepticism in the league, as one coach texted Tuesday, "I don't see the spring working. I am not a fan." Coaches are concerned about how a spring season will fit into a fairly rigid schedule, how it would impact roster size and eligibility, and whether there would be increased health risks with playing two seasons in one calendar year. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz offered a different view. "I think we can do anything we want if we do it intelligently," he said. " ... It's totally doable. We may be playing in some colder games, but we do that anyway in December. We have to be realistic about it. It will be a different approach than ever before." Weather also could be a bigger factor in the Big Ten than in other conferences attempting a spring season. Although every school has indoor practice facilities, the league likely wouldn't want to start the season until late February or early March. A sports medicine source said the Big Ten would need at least four weeks of practices before games and couldn't begin workouts until new information emerges that it's safe to begin preparations. Coaches ultimately want more concrete plans from the league than they received surrounding summer practices. Warren said a spring football season, which Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour has described as a "last resort," will become the focus for him and his staff as they continue to consult their medical groups. The Pac-12 has allowed for the possibility to resume competitive sports as early as January. Oregon president Michael H. Schill, in the Pac-12's official statement, said, "We certainly hope that the Pac-12 will be able to return to competition in the New Year." -- Rittenberg play 1:49 Joey Galloway explains why he isn't surprised by the Pac-12's decision to postpone the fall football season. What happens to their players now? The Big Ten will continue to monitor medical developments and start crafting plans for its fall sports athletes and the potential for seasons during the spring. Several coaches in the league are skeptical of a spring season, citing the logistical challenges, schedule disruptions and additional physical demands on players. 3 of 14 8/12/2020, 11:11 AM Big Ten, Pac-12 postpone fall college football: What you need to know https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29640578/big-ten-pac-... "It doesn't mean that we're giving up forever," Warren told BTN. "We continually have to gather information and look forward to the future. But there's so much uncertainty." Warren has made athlete health and safety, both physical and mental, a centerpiece of his mission as commissioner. He and the league now must address concerns raised by both football players and coaches that players will now be in more unsafe situations this fall because there is no season. Coaches in the conference want direction around eligibility, roster planning and other key areas. In a statement, Ohio State said all of its student-athletes would remain on scholarship; COVID-19 testing by the athletic department and quarantine/isolation protocols would continue; access to team facilities, locker rooms, sports performance, medical/training and nutrition areas would be available; tutoring, scheduling and additional support services will remain in place; and comprehensive mental health services will be provided. While the Pac-12 has made it clear its athletes will keep their scholarships, Scott said decisions will be made on a campus-to-campus basis for how to support them without competitive activities.

  • June 1, 2020 an OPEN LETTER from BIG TEN COMMISSIONER
    June 1, 2020 AN OPEN LETTER FROM BIG TEN COMMISSIONER KEVIN WARREN On Monday, May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a proud Black man, was killed by a member of law enforcement in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, Emmett Till. The list goes on and on. Prior to joining the Big Ten Conference as Commissioner and relocating to Chicago, my family had lived full-time in the Minneapolis area for over 15 years as I worked as an executive with the Minnesota Vikings in the National Football League. Our kids were raised in Minnesota and attended school in Minnesota before leaving for college and the people of the great state of Minnesota are part of the fabric of our entire family. As a Black man, I pray every day for the health and safety of my wife and children, especially during interactions with law enforcement. We continue to see inequality and deep divide regarding how members of the Black community are treated compared to the rest of society and too often, the results have been horrific and senseless. Such racism and inequality are pervasive, not just endemic in law enforcement. Meaningful change will only occur if, as a nation, we are united, resilient and determined to create difficult, uncomfortable dialogue and take significant tangible action. We all need to strive to make the world a better place. One person, one family, one city, one state, one conference, one country. George Floyd’s death cannot be in vain. I have made the decision to create the Big Ten Conference Anti-Hate and Anti-Racism Coalition and invite student-athletes, coaches, athletic directors, chancellors, presidents and others to join me.

  • Report of the Ncaa Division I Council February 17, 2021, Videoconference
    REPORT OF THE NCAA DIVISION I COUNCIL FEBRUARY 17, 2021, VIDEOCONFERENCE In an effort to connect NCAA Division I Council items to the NCAA pillars of academics, fairness and well-being, items included in this report have an identifying pillar. There is an additional pillar, operational, that is used to denote items that relate to maintaining a stable and efficient Division I. KEY ITEMS. 1. Extension of the Temporary Recruiting Dead Period. (Academics/Fairness/Well- Being/Operational) The NCAA Division I Council adopted emergency temporary legislation to extend the temporary recruiting dead period (as defined in NCAA Bylaw 13.02.5.5) in all sports through May 31. In addition, the Council committed to providing clarity regarding permissible recruiting activities beginning June 1 (e.g., campus visits, evaluations) as soon as possible, and not later than its April 14-15 meeting. The extension reflects the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns regarding in-person interaction among prospective student-athletes, institutional staff, and student-athletes. Extending the recruiting dead period now provides the membership and prospective student-athletes with clarity regarding the status of permissible recruiting activities for the remainder of the spring 2021 academic term. 2. Legislative Action – NCAA Division I Proposal No. 2019-25 Adopted. (Fairness/Well- Being/Operational) Legislative actions taken by the Council are listed in Attachment A. Voting results are available in Attachment B. The Council removed Proposal No. 2019-25 from the table and adopted the legislation, which applies to bowl subdivision football and men’s and women’s basketball. The proposal specifies that the definition of an individual associated with a prospective student-athlete does not include an individual who maintained (or directed others to maintain) contact with a prospective student-athlete (or a prospective student-athlete’s relatives, legal guardians or coaches) only while employed in the athletics department at another four-year institution.
