Pac-12 is back: Shortened college football season returning Nov. 6
- The Pac-12 Conference has reversed course and will play an abbreviated
fall football season - joining its fellow holdout the Big Ten in
changing its mind and playing after canceling fall seasons last month.
- That means they'll join the SEC, ACC and Big 12, with all five Power 5
conferences playing football this fall. The vote was unanimous.
- Like the Big Ten, the Pac-12 has designed a season with the sport's
championship playoff in mind: It will play a seven-game, conference-only
schedule to begin Nov. 6 and wrap up with a conference championship
Friday,
Dec. 18. That's just before the College Football Playoff committee
determines the four playoff participants, on Dec. 20.
- The conference says that updated information from its Medical Advisory
Committee played a key role in reversing its decision. The games will
play
with no fans in attendance, nad following protocols including daily
COVID-19 testing and improved cardiac monitoring for athletes.
- Other winter sports are back on for the conference as well.
- Key broadcast tickers: ESPN (NYSE:DIS), Fox (FOX, FOXA).
