Pac-12 football set to return on weekend of Nov. 6 with seven-game schedule

Pac-12 CEO's couldn't afford to kick the can down the road any further. On Thursday, they announced plans to kick off a shortened 2020 football season on Nov. 6.

There will be a 7-game season as the Pac-12 joins the other Power 5 conferences with some version of a 2020 season.

In addition, the Pac-12 announced that men’s and women’s basketball and other winter sports can begin on Nov. 25, which is consistent with the start date set forth by the NCAA previously.

The CEO Group met last Wednesday to discuss the same issues they finally ironed out on Thursday, most notably the football start date, but did not make a decision.
