The Big Ten changed course this week and decided to play football in 2020 after postponing its fall campaign in August due to COVID-19 concerns.
The conference's testing protocols include daily rapid testing beginning Sept. 30. Players who test positive for the virus must wait 21 days to return. Teams with a positivity testing rate of over 5% will have to pause activities for at least a week.
