As it turned out, much more powerful than the actual impact of COVID-19 on these college campuses were the images of college football games being played on Sept. 12 in places like Norman, Oklahoma; South Bend, Indiana; Austin, Texas; and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Once it became clear everyone else was just going to plow through and deal with whatever obstacles the coronavirus might present, the risk assessment changed for the Big Ten.
But eventually the goalposts had to move, or else there was no path for college football to be played this fall. Eventually, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the Big Ten was bullied into moving right along with the rest. Never again will the power of King Football’s throne be called into question.
