College Football's Pending Cancellation Sends Sportsbooks Scrambling

According to reports from Sports Illustrated's College Football columnists, Ross Dellenger and Pat Forde, the upcoming college football season is in serious doubts over concerns relating to the coronavirus.

The heads of all Power 5 conferences met over the weekend and are expected to come to the conclusion of postponing all fall sports, including College Football until 2021. One conference commissioner told Sports Illustrated, “I think all of us will be meeting with our boards in the coming days. We have work to do that is no fun.”

According to Dellenger and Forde, the Big Ten conference is expected to be the first to cancel the 2020 fall season with the Pac-12, Big 12, SEC, and ACC all coming to the same conclusion by the end of the week.
