Now on to the show. Welcome to the Andy Staples show. Welcome to the Andy Staples show, Big Ten in Crisis Edition.

Well, it's not, I don't think it's really in crisis.

I think a decision has been made.

Some people don't like that decision and have made that very clear.

And the leadership of the Big Ten has not been great at responding to that criticism

or very transparent about how they came to the decision in the first place.

So I bring on our Ohio State beatwriter, beatwriter Bill Landis, and our Penn State beat writer,

Audrey Snyder, because you guys have been dealing with parents, you've been talking to players,

you've been talking to coaches, you've been talking to athletic directors about the fallout

from the Big Ten's decision to postpone fall sports. And it should be noted, the Pac-12 did the

same thing on the same day, but has not experienced anywhere near the strife that the Big Ten.

So let me set the table we know now

there was a vote audrey you asked a question the other day of sandy barber the ad at penn

state she said well i don't even know if there was a vote well nebraska's chancellor ronigree

went on the radio on wednesday and said yes there was a. I'm not going to say who voted for whom,

but Nebraska voted not to postpone and got summarily beaten in that vote.

It didn't sound like it was a close vote.

So, Audrey, why have they been so cagey about what actually happened and who voted what?
