Illini Beat Writer Disappointed in Hasty Decision Made by Big Ten

Not even a week after the Big Ten announced their 10-game conference only schedule for a pandemic college football season, the league announced the cancellation of the fall sports season and its hope for a spring season.

 

A veteran of the Big Ten sports journalism scene, Bob Asmussen believes the Big Ten made the right decision but was disappointed in how quickly it was made.

 

 

Many believe putting young adults through the rigors of a season twice in a calendar year is not going to good for their health. Asmussen disagrees though and wrote this week about how two seasons in one calendar year could be successfully executed.

 

 

Asmussen believes the Big Ten wants to return to normal as soon as possible but at the same time there are vulnerable populations in each program that need to be considered.
