Would Big Ten deciding to play football this fall force Pac-12 to join them?

One of the two major conferences that decided to cancel college football this fall might be reversing course. And if it does so that could put pressure on the other to follow suit, but maybe not enough to force the issue.

The Big Ten may be nearing a vote to restart the 2020 season, as early as mid-October, after its school presidents and chancellors were presented with a “comprehensive plan” that emphasized medical protocols, according to Yahoo! Sports’ Pete Thamel. The conference’s leaders previously voted 11-3 to cancel all fall sports in August, with the Pac-12 following suit not long after (though extending the cancellation through the end of 2020).
