Ohio Attorney General Believes Ohio State Can Sue Big Ten

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is on record telling the Columbus Dispatch that Ohio State University has an "excellent contract claim for several tens of millions of dollars in lost revenue" and believes the school can file a lawsuit against the Big Ten seeking monetary damages for the cancellation of the football season.

Yost believes Ohio State could go after "tens of millions of dollars in lost revenues" via a lawsuit that the AG says he'd recommend moving forward with if another round of fall football negotiations don't resolve the issue.

Lawyers have been ordered by Yost to "put together a case, so if negotiations break down and the season is canceled, we are prepared to make a presentation to the board (of trustees) and the administration."

Big Ten presidents and chancellors voted 11-3 to cancel fall football and have yet to have a re-vote. October 10 was pegged as a date when the conference would look to return to the field, if presidents and chancellors passed a re-vote.
