Big Ten reverses course, will play college football this fall

Trump is already claiming credit

I think the Big 10 was sort of counting on a certain series of dominoes to fall and they wouldn't be the odd man out (along with the Pac 12) like they ended up being.

And, the financial realities hit home very quickly - Iowa and Minnesota cut varsity sports within weeks.

I get not playing - really understand why you wouldn't want to have a season this fall. But, I also get trying to piece together a season.

this turnaround was inevitable. NCAA & university administration won't mind a few (dozen) ill or dead students, long as they get those lucrative tv deals and non-refundable tuition checks.

I'd give Trump much more credit if football never played again
