Jim Harbaugh is speaking out in hopes of saving the 2020 college football season
The 2020 college football season is in doubt due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Big Ten coaches are attempting a fourth-quarter comeback. With reports the league is set to cancel the 2020 season this week, Ohio State's Ryan Day, Michigan's Jim Harbaugh, Nebraska's Scott Frost, Iowa's Kirk Ferentz and Penn State's James Franklin released statements to let their voice be heard in the discussion:
Swinging as hard as we possibly can right now for these players!! This isn’t over! #FIGHT
