Penn State Student-Athletes Share Reactions To Big Ten’s Cancellation Of Winter And Spring Sports

Mikey Mandarino | Onward State

The Big Ten canceled all winter and spring sports for the rest of the 2019-2020 academic year Thursday afternoon. The decision riled up fans and student-athletes alike, but the latter were much more emotional as their seasons (or careers!) came to an abrupt end.

Student-athletes from several Penn State teams took to Twitter shortly after the announcement to express their feelings on the cancellations due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Not the way I thought my senior year would end but a huge thank you to @PennStateMHKY and it’s fans, @TheRoarZone, my fellow seniors, teammates and everyone that made 4 years so special #WeAre https://t.co/9OkkS0V0B9

Not how I imagined my last year as a collegiate athlete to end but very fortunate for the relationships I’ve made the last 4 years. To my fellow classmates, thank you. Thank you @PennStateMHKY and everyone involved for making it an incredible experience. #WeAre https://t.co/1PGCGWXJ3t

Thank you @JustinJBasch this means a lot. I’m having a lot of feeling about what is going on right now that I’m having a hard time expressing. https://t.co/neGxgAgS8v
