LINCOLN- A bipartisan group of 28 state senators from Nebraska wrote a letter to Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren and other administrators to reconsider their decision to cancel the football season. The letter notes that there is full support from University of Nebraska's student athletes, coaches and administrators. It goes on to say that it puts the state's athletes at a disadvantage to their competitors who are playing this season. It also puts the Nebraska Athletic Department at a huge loss financially which will force scholarship and program cuts. The letter is signed by 25 Republicans and three Democrats.

Six other states around the Big Ten Conference also sent a letter to Commissioner Warren. The Chicago Tribune reported that a vote could be happening this weekend at the absolute earliest. If the return to competition is approved, the restart date has not been discussed at all.

The letter shows that everyone wants sports to continue in a safe manner.
