Multiple sources within the conference have indicated otherwise to Blue White Illustrated.
Countering the report that conference presidents had voted to cancel the 2020 fall football season in the Big Ten, BWI has learned instead that no vote has been recorded, nor was the reported 12-2 margin an accurate representation of where the conference stands.
Penn State and the rest of the Big Ten have not yet voted on what to do about the 2020 football season
"The presidents voted, 12-2, Sunday to end the fall sports in the conference. Michigan and Michigan State — which both has physicians as presidents — voted to end the season, sources said. Only Nebraska and Iowa voted to play, Dan Patrick said on his radio show Monday."
Instead, Blue White Illustrated has learned that while the conference could still end up postponing or canceling its fall sports seasons altogether, including football, no decisions had yet been made and no vote had been taken.
Meanwhile, now onto the fourth day of its preseason camp, the Penn State football program continues to prepare ahead of its 2020 slate. Starting its preseason camp on Friday, the Nittany Lions have a 29-day lead-in to its scheduled home-opener against Northwestern at Beaver Stadium on Sept. 5.
Penn State's Monday practice is still being held as scheduled.
Reports have also come out now that the Big Ten will host a call tonight at 6 p.m. eastern time. According to Graham Couch from the Lansing State Journal, Big Ten presidents intend to make the final decision regarding the football season during that call.
Blue White Illustrated will have more on the latest developments as they become available.
