Frustrated parents of football players at Ohio State and Iowa are speaking
out against the Big Ten's decision to postpone the football season to the
spring, questioning the process and the conference leadership, and are
asking the league for further consideration and input.
Iowa parents on Friday hand-delivered a letter to the conference
headquarters in Chicago, requesting a meeting with commissioner Kevin
Warren to ask questions "and get direct answers and to have a say in the
decision-making process."
In the letter, released on Twitter on Friday, the Iowa parents asked the
Big Ten what changed within the six days when the conference announced its
schedule, and on Tuesday when it became the first Power 5 conference to
push its fall sports to the spring if possible. The Iowa parents asked
that the Big Ten respond no later than Wednesday.
"The Big Ten had months to develop a strategic plan but instead chose to
leave it up to each individual school creating confusion, inconsistency
and no plan of action," the letter stated. "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."
