Big Ten: Presidents Voted 11-3 to Postpone Season

Jason Scott Headshot

Big Ten Conference presidents voted by a margin of 11-3 to postpone the fall football season, according to legal documents filed in response to a lawsuit led by University of Nebraska football players. 

The brief filed by the conference doesn’t list how each of the league’s 14 schools voted — but ESPN reports that the three holdouts were Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio State. While some university presidents — including Minnesota’s Joan Gabel and Michigan State’s Samuel L. Stanley — did not describe the decision as a traditional vote, Monday’s court filings includes a sworn affidavit from Northwestern president and chair of the league’s council of presidents and chancellors Morton Schapiro who confirmed the vote.
