A group of Nebraska football players filed a lawsuit Thursday in hopes of forcing the Big Ten Conference to reinstate a fall football season.

The Big Ten plans to move the season to the spring because of the coronavirus pandemic. Among its claims, the lawsuit says players are losing a chance for development, exposure for a possible pro career, and won’t be able to market themselves to eventually capitalize on name, image and likeness revenue opportunities. The Big Ten said the suit has “no merit.”
