While the Big Ten continues to await word on the future of a Big Ten football season this year, Brett McMurphy, of the Stadium, may have offered some insight Tuesday.
In a tweet, McMurphy said Nebraska President Ted Carter told people at a news conference there will be an announcement tonight, not knowing he was on a 'hot mic'.
The tweet from McMurphy is the latest twist in what has been an often-political drama surrounding a return to football, as President Donald Trump and lawmakers from the midwest have weighed in.
Several published media reports stated the Big Ten would revote on a return to playing as earlier as last weekend, but that vote has not taken place.
A Tuesday story in the Lincoln Journal Star newspaper stated, The Big Ten’s Council of Presidents and Chancellors, is expected to vote this week. A decision could be revealed as soon as Tuesday on a proposal that apparently has Oct. 17 as the starting date for the season. The council voted 11-3 on Aug. 11 to postpone all fall sports. Nine votes are needed to start the season.
