Nebraska football had a plan. Did the Big Ten?

Last week, we were all getting excited about the possibility of seeing some Husker football this season. Then the rug got pulled out from under us. Now the Big Ten front office is dangling another treat in the air for the football coaches, players and fans. Except this time it’s the promise of spring football instead of a fall football schedule. But let’s be honest…there is no way that’s happening either. Whether it’s two games, six games or ten games, I think almost every football player would rather play in fall 2020 instead of spring 2021.

Over the last month, I slowly came to accept the reality that a college football season wasn’t happening this year. Even when the Big Ten conference announced an updated schedule, I knew there was a good chance that a full schedule might not have happened. Despite all of this, it’s hard to deny that Kevin Warren and the Big Ten front office have done a terrible job of handling this situation. Despite football teams bending over backwards to implement rules and regulations, it seems like the conference was resigned to cancelling the season no matter what was done. The conference never gave us a fighting chance by postponing the season. Nobody has any idea what they are basing their decisions on because we still haven’t been told anything. I think the lack of transparency, communication and preparation by the Big Ten conference is why a lot of people like me are annoyed and upset.
