Some believe the Pac-12 acted too soon in postponing football and too late in bringing in back.
But for Arizona State President Michael Crow, among those charged with making such decisions as part of the Pac-12 CEO Group, the timing was appropriate in both cases even though it differed from other Power 5 conferences.
On Aug. 11, the Pac-12 postponed all fall sports competition through the end of the calendar year. It announced a partnership with Quidel Corporation to provide daily coronavirus testing with rapid results (within 15 minutes) on Sept. 3 with testing equipment to be in place across the conference by the end of September.
