Big Ten: Buckeyes grateful for return of football

The Big Ten Conference’s announcement that football will return in October thrilled Ohio State Buckeyes players and fans.

Here’s how others reacted on Twitter:

B1G coaches could have simply accepted the decision.
They didn’t.
B1G players could have simply accepted the decision.
They didn’t.
B1G parents could have simply accepted the decision.
They didn’t.

B1G Football in 2020 is 💯 a movement.
Power of the people, y’all.

The General didn't win anything... its all of the players in the @bigten that won

All I did was probably destroy some relationships and annoy people... & they aren't going quietly
