Initially, the Big Ten was going to go with a conference only structure for all fall sports, but the risk was too high as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across the country. This was the leading factor in the conferences decision to postpone sports for the Fall season.
The cancellation comes a couple weeks after the Scarlet Knights voluntary workouts were shutdown due to 15 positive cases within the program. Rutgers was one of multiple programs around the country to pause their workouts, joining the likes of Colorado State, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina and Ohio State among many others.
