Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren just spoke live on ESPN's College GameDay. “The key thing and our focus and it will always be, is to make sure the health and safety of our student-athletes is at the top of our list … we made a promise from day one that we would always follow the medicine and we created a task force for that … we reached a point where we could go forward with the season and we feel comfortable that we can go forward with the season.”
The Big Ten will require student-athletes, coaches, trainers and other individuals that are on the field for all practices and games to undergo daily antigen testing. Test results must be completed and recorded prior to each practice or game. Student-athletes who test positive for the coronavirus through point of contact (POC) daily testing would require a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to confirm the result of the POC test.
