Pac-12 Approves Scheduling of Nonconference Football Games amid Pandemic

The Pac-12 announced Thursday that it has approved the playing of nonconference football games this season if certain parameters are met.

Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic tweeted the statement:

Should a COVID-19 outbreak prevent a team from playing its scheduled game in any given week for the remainder of this season, the Pac-12 is giving the opponents of those teams permission to seek out nonconference games as long as that opponent agrees to adhere to Pac-12 testing protocols, play the game on the road and allow the game to be televised by a Pac-12 TV partner.
