“We want to play.”
That's the message being shared by Justin Fields, Chris Olave, Thayer Munford and numerous Ohio State football players via social media on Sunday, in the midst of rumors that Big Ten presidents are “ready to pull the plug” on fall sports.
A roundup of Sunday night's tweets by the Buckeyes making a plea to save the season:

Looking back at all the work Ive put in through the years and seeing my senior year gone to injury and now seeing all of this stuff going on. Man I want a season to show everyone the player I am and have the senior year I earned and worked for.

If people went through the hours on hours of physical, mental, and consistent hard work that us athletes go through you'd want to have a season. Let's have a season. #iwantaseason

Years of work will come down to votes from Presidents and Execs who haven’t even witnessed our protocols and safety measures with their own eyes. Our guys are safe. #WeWantASeason

All I’ve ever wanted was an opportunity to play the sport I love. College Football has provided me with the opportunity and privilege to do that on some insane platforms. I’m not ready for it to stop and I know others aren’t either. #WeWantToPlay
