Instead of Canceling Season, Conferences Should Have Pushed to Allow Athletes to Cash In

The Big Ten and the Pac 12 decided earlier this month to cancel their season due to concerns related to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

There have been conversations going on all around the country about whether or not they made the right decision by shutting the season down.

One of the guys that has been taking the brunt of the criticism is Big Ten Commissioner, Kevin Warren. But, he is convinced that he made the right decision and there will be no Big Ten teams on your television in the fall.

Jon Chuckery thinks that all of the people that were a part of this decision-making process could have easily made things feasible for the players to play this fall.

"If they would have passed name, image, and likeness, and said, we can do it this fall," Chuckery said.

The NCAA may have missed out on an opportunity during this pandemic to justify cashing checks this fall by allowing collegiate athletes make some money off their own.
