Tuesday presidents of schools from both the Big 10 and Pac 12 conferences voted to postpone all 2020 fall sports including football. The Big 10 was the first to announce the news early Tuesday morning, while the Pac-12 followed suit Tuesday afternoon and cancelled all sports, including men and women’s basketball, through the end of the calendar year.
The Big 10 and Pac 12 cancelling football comes on the heels of several other leagues and independent schools doing the very same. Last Wednesday UConn, an independent in football, cancelled its season; this past Saturday, the MAC did the same, becoming the first FBS league to nix football.
