Fresno State’s Oct. 10 matchup against Texas A&M has been canceled- the second game scrapped after the Fresno State-Colorado game as conferences announce a conference-only football schedule.
The Southeastern Conference (SEC) announced on Thursday that they will play a 10-game, conference-only schedule for its upcoming football season, according to a report from Sports Illustrated.
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey’s decision to hold a conference-only season comes following talks amongst the SEC’s Presidents and Chancellors, Athletics Directors, Conference Office staff, and medical advisors. Additionally, it was led by the SEC’s Return to Activity and Medical Guidance Task Force.
“After careful consideration of the public health indicators in our region and following advice of our medical advisors, we have determined that this is the best course of action to prepare for a safe and healthy return to competition for SEC student-athletes, coaches and others associated with our sports programs,” Sankey said.
