Big Ten Suspends Intercollegiate Status for War Time Athletes
The Big Ten faculty committee declares that athletes serving in the armed forces compete for physical benefits only, not recognition. Eligibility shifts to member schools with a moratorium on intercollegiate records, requiring regular enrollment and no compensation. Each school must enforce standards suitable to the emergency. Postwar eligibility issues are to be handled later.
