The Big Ten postponed the 2020 college football season on Tuesday, becoming the first “Power Five” conference to step back from one of the biggest cash cows in college sports as the Covid-19 pandemic rages.

The college football season can generate more than $100 million for elite programs.

Big Ten and Pac-12 Conferences call off 2020 season due to coronavirus concerns. Other Power 5 leagues seem disinclined to follow, leaving potential split in big-time football.

Many universities are asking students to wear masks and avoid parties — and to report on peers who break the rules. It could backfire.

Local officials are bracing for a virus explosion triggered by young people living in tight quarters who disregard social distancing rules.

TRADES

Hundreds of colleges announced early this summer they would be reopening for in-person instruction this fall. As start dates near, many backtrack, citing a worsening health crisis.

Students are still in favor of an in-person fall, and many workers don't feel they can access the education they want.

If college administrators take the current crisis as an opportunity to eliminate tenure once and for all, who’s going to stop them?
