In August 2020 the Big Ten and Pac-12 collegiate athletic conferences voted to postpone fall sports due to the coronavirus epidemic. College administrators in the conferences cited concerns that athletes who contract even mild cases of Covid-19 may be at increased risk of developing myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle that can be fatal if left untreated. Opponents of the decision argue that sports like college football are an important source of revenue for colleges and college age athletes are at a low risk of dying from the coronavirus. Opponents include President Donald Trump and some of college football’s biggest stars including Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh and Penn State head coach James Franklin.
