Plans for a postseason basketball tournament in the Big Ten were sidetracked when the conference presidents postponed a decision on the matter.
The Big Ten’s Council of Ten, meeting in Chicago, was expected to formally ratify a postseason tournament, beginning with the 1988-89 season. But the group decided to try to get additional information.

Big Ten athletic directors approved the proposal for a tournament earlier this month. Conference basketball coaches approved the plan earlier this year.
