And then there was one.
With the Big Ten’s Wednesday morning announcement that it will begin its football season the weekend of Oct. 24, the Pac-12 was left out on an island as the lone Power Five conference without a football season scheduled for the fall.
In announcing the decision, the Big Ten cited the availability of daily testing and other medical advancements amid the coronavirus pandemic as the reason its presidents and chancellors were ultimately comfortable with reversing the August decision to postpone fall sports.
The Pac-12 also has access to daily testing, but is dealing with other issues in its quest to return to sports.
