Iowa athletic director Gary Barta says there was a vote by the Big Ten presidents and chancellors on August 11 to cancel the fall football season.
The league made the move less than a week after released a revised schedule.
Barta says ADs were not part of the meeting to cancel.
Barta admits it will be difficult to watch if the remaining FBS conferences are able to play a full season.
With a projected 100 million dollar loss, Iowa cut four sports last week: men’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s swimming and diving as well as men’s tennis.
Barta says the cuts will save the department about five million dollars per year. They are also working on a plan to cover an expected deficit of between 60 and 75 million dollars.
