Indiana has been a key piece in the hog of the postponements. They have a player on their football team, Brady Feeney, who is currently suffering from a heart condition caused by COVID-19 and was forced to opt-out of the season. One of Indiana's doctors provided some more details on what the virus can do to the heart.
Parents have started to make their voices be heard. There are plenty of upset parents of football players in the Big Ten and Pac-12. Iowa had 60 parents be a part of a letter sent to their conference leadership.
The football parents at Ohio State also sent a letter to the Big Ten.
Some more insight was provided by Wisconsin's Barry Alvarez and Paul Chryst. Chryst has coached in World League of Professional Football, whose season started in the month of January. And Alvarez has tons of experience around football. AllBadgers' Jake Kocorowski provides their thoughts on a spring season.
The ACC, SEC and Big 12 are ready to have a modified season. Duke's David Cutcliffe believes they will play all 11 games. Although, the ACC has seen a wave of players opting out of the season.
