It’s been a solemn day as far as college football news goes. First, after a few days of speculation and rumors, the Big Ten finally pulled the plug on the 2020 fall football season in hopes of planning to play in the spring of 2021. It was somewhat expected, but there was optimism that things could be saved this fall after a groundswell of support from coaches and players to re-consider.
And now, on the heels of that, it’s also been reported by ESPN and others that the Pac-12 is set to make the same move and is planning on officially announcing the news later this evening.
It’s all in the effort of extreme caution when it comes to student-athlete safety in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our sister site Trojans Wire will have more reaction on the Pac-12 developments and already has some reaction up. We encourage you to follow them as more from the conference becomes available.
