The Big Ten Conference says it would suffer “competitive harm’ if communications exchanged by its Council of Presidents and Chancellors were subjected to state open records laws.

The conference's position supports the University of Illinois ’ effort to dismiss a public records lawsuit filed against it by a Sportico reporter.

At the heart of the case is whether any communications sent or received by U of I chancellor Robert J. Jones , via the Big Ten’s BoardVantage portal, qualify as public records.
