Big Ten Suspends All Organized Team Activities: No Nebraska Spring Football Practice

Keep your chins up. Help each other.

Below is the entire official announcement from the Big Ten Conference, suspending all organized team activities until April 6th.

That means no Nebraska spring football practices. That means no arguments about quarterback competitions. No discussions about whether or not guys can play offensive line... well, unless they are doctors, perhaps.

The Big Ten Conference announced today that all organized team activities have been suspended until April 6, 2020, and will be re-evaluated at that time.

The Big Ten has previously announced that in addition to canceling the Men’s Basketball Tournament it will be canceling all conference and non-conference competitions through the end of the academic year, including spring sports that compete beyond the academic year, and participation in all NCAA tournaments and competitions. The Conference also has announced a moratorium on all on- and off-campus recruiting activities for the foreseeable future.

The Big Ten Conference will use this time to work with the appropriate medical experts and institutional leadership to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The main priority of the Big Ten Conference continues to be the health, safety and wellness of our student-athletes, coaches, administrators, faculty, fans and media as we continue to monitor all developing and relevant information on the COVID-19 virus.


Consider this your thread for the day.

I would like to know what you’d like to see from us.

We are a sports web site with no more sports to talk about, really, unless we delve into the past or get really creative.

BTW I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THE NAME CALLING IN YESTERDAY’S THREAD AND AS YOUR FEARLESS LEADER YOU MAY STILL BE BANNED FOR EXCESSIVE WHATEVERISM.

YOUR FATHER FIGURE HAS SPOKEN.

OBEY DAMMIT.
