The ongoing—and in some places worsening—COVID-19 outbreak has prompted a reaction from college’s football biggest conferences. High-level conference meetings have been happening across the college landscape this week, and we are just now starting to hear about some of the results.
The MAC conference, home to the University at Buffalo Bulls, was the first conference to announce they wouldn’t be playing football in the fall of 2020. According to Dan Patrick, the Big Ten and Pac-12 will follow suit and cancel, or ‘postpone’ their seasons. Regarding the Big Ten, Patrick reports that in a conference-wide vote, only Iowa and Nebraska were in favor of holding the season this fall.
