San Jose State vs Penn State Cancelled

San Jose State was set to challenge Penn State on September 19th before the Big Ten announced their schools would be pivoting to an in-conference only schedule due to the current pandemic. The announcement came Friday of last week and caught many in the college football world a bit off guard. We knew sporting activities would be drastically hindered by COVID-19, which is a rather small side effect when compared to the damage it has done across the globe.

The conference believes the move will increase its ability to protect its coaches, student-athletes, game officials, and all others involved by reducing the amount of travel and interactions they will face during their schedules.
