We take you through the financial losses in regards to the Big Ten announcing a conference-only schedule for the Fall. Also, what does this mean for other conferences in college sports?

On today's Current Sports with Al Martin we dive into the news highlighting the Big Ten Conference moving to a conference -only schedule due to the coronavirus pandemic. If a power-five conference like the Big Ten has made the move, what does this mean for others? We break it all down. Also, we touch up big time recruiting news for MSU men's basketball, and so much more!
