Parents of Iowa and Nebraska football players want games to happen in the fall.
Parents of players on both teams recently released letters to the conference demanding that the decision to cancel football be changed.

According to Outkick, the Hawkeyes parents wrote in part, “There is time to fix the wrongdoings and come out as leaders. We strongly encourage the Big Ten to reconsider playing the fall college football season, develop a plan of meaningful action and letting these young adults be included in the decision-making process.”

There is nobody outside of university presidents and Big 10 Commissioner Kevin Warren who appears to agree with the decision to cancel football.
The players, coaches, fans and parents all want to have games rolling in the fall. We need as many people as possible speaking up.
The Big 10 needs to be exposed for the horrific decision it made to cancel football during the coronavirus pandemic.

Get loud, folks. Until the Big 10 admits they were wrong, we need as many people as possible speaking out, and I’m glad the parents of Nebraska and Iowa players have done just that.
Expose everyone involved in this horrific decision!
