A petition started by a major name in Big Ten college football is floating around that is vying for the sport to resume this fall. Also, a few MSU football players are going to have to make some tough decisions come spring of 2021. 

On today's Current Sports with Al Martin we dive into the petition started by Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, who is urging the Big Ten Conference to reconsider its decision to cancel college football this fall. How convincing is the petition and is there any hope of a reversal? Also, Al tells you which Michigan State football players will have to take in consideration their pro football futures when the game starts up in spring of 2021. We finish things up with an update on the NBA playoffs.
