Statement from Jim Harbaugh. He doesn't address the decision directly or the conference's administrators. He talks about his team and how prepared they were for a season. @UMichFootball @UMichAthletics pic.twitter.com/Fwk2G6uGs6

The Big Ten has canceled fall football. What an embarrassing, GUTLESS decision by the school Presidents. To bring players back, put them through insane protocols for 3 months only to cancel the season before a single padded practice - when the protocols were WORKING - is sicking

Those upset at the Big Ten, direct your outrage at the leaders who have refused to do what’s needed to get COVID under control. We had the time and we squandered it.

At least we can take solace in knowing the Big Ten did all it could over the last 5 months to salvage a football season. As every other conference just hoped the problem would magically go away, the Big Ten hoped AND crossed their fingers really really hard. Proud of the effort.
