Commissioner Mike Aresco indicated that a decision on the college football season could come by the end of July. Olympic sports will likely hear an update on their respective seasons even earlier than that.

Aresco spoke with The Daily Campus on Thursday afternoon about a number of issues the conference is currently weighing.

Among them, the commissioner discussed the conference’s preference to play sports in the fall, testing protocols and potential scenarios for what a college football season would look like.
