News Comment #4

A little more then a month ago, the Big Ten Conference cancelled their football season until, evidently, the spring. On Wednesday, the Big Ten cancelled their cancellation, vowing to play this fall. Games can be excepted as soon as the weekend of October 23-24.

The decision most likely came from on going pressure that the Big Ten received after being only one of two FBS college programs to cancel their fall events. That pressure, more specifically, came from popular coaches, players, parents, fans, and even President Trump himself.

Following the statement to play, the conference said that players, coaches, trainers, and others who are on the practice fields will go through daily testing for the virus. Anyone that tests positive will be required to quarantine from the team for at least 21 days.

    This is a summary. What can you tell me about how the story was written? What about the lead? Did it mention that the Big 10 presidents caved to pressure?
