Big Ten vote was 11-3 in favor of cancelling football this fall (and other sports).
Ohio State, Nebraska, and Iowa dissented.

I guess it makes it easier to bar all fans as it also reduces the number of support people that need to attend the event, but it seems like a special exception should be made for the parents/families of the players (perhaps a limit of two per player). With the massive empty facilities, it would be easy to honor social distancing rules, and at least mom and pop could go to the games. Just don't see it as endangering the players, parents or stadium workers if there are a couple of hundred people in a 40,000+ capacity facility. It's more dangerous to go to Walmart.
Iowa State announced Monday that it will allow approximately 25,000 fans into Jack Trice Stadium for the Cyclones’ season-opening football game against Louisiana on Sept. 12, even though the state of Iowa has seen its number of coronavirus cases skyrocket in recent weeks.

The school arrived at the 25,000 number because that’s the number of season tickets it sells; should season ticket holders decide not to attend the game, their tickets will not be resold.

Aerosolization from flushing public toilets and urinals is a key spreader for this virus. No matter how many you might put in a stadium, this is a problem without any solution at this point.

Apparently Jamie Newman might be opting out of the 2020 season according the the UGA 247 board.
Reason?
Covid? Racism? Beaten out by another QB?
He appeared to opt out of the last 5 games last season.
