Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is the lone Midwestern governor holding up the start of the Big 10 football season.
The Spun cited Ohio State insider as saying Democrat Whitmer is a “major roadblock” to it all coming together, which would essentially amount to the teams playing each other outside of the traditional league.
“I was also told that one roadblock to the new plan is the fact that Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been vehemently opposed to football being played – at the high school and college level – in the state this fall,” Snook said.(The Spun)
“Ohio Governor Mike DeWine gave his blessing to all sports being played this fall on Tuesday.”
The Michigan High School Athletic Association has canceled high school football for the fall and has tentatively moved the season to spring.
The Spun reported Whitmer is “standing in the way of all the others” and is blocking Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio State, and Penn State.
If Whitmer continues to object, both Michigan and Michigan State would be out of the mix.
