That positive response comes just one week after Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck said that waving to the children’s hospital was his “favorite tradition in college football.”
Everyone, from fans to officials, media members to opposing players, has taken part in waving to the children watching the game in the hospital that overlooks the stadium. Many stories and video features have been done on the new tradition, highlighting just how truly special that short time of recognition truly is for everybody.
Ohio State and Iowa will kickoff at 3:30 p.m. ET and will air on ESPN.
