Report: Pac-12 Planning Conference-Only Schedule, Delayed Opener

The Pac-12 is planning to enact a 10-game, conference-only schedule in 2020, according to the Bay Area News Group's Jon Wilner.

If the Pac-12 finalizes its plan, it will join the Big 10 among the Power 5 conferences to solely play conference games in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. The SEC, ACC and Big-12 are looking to play all conference games plus at least one non-conference opponent.

“[The Pac-12] wants to be as flexible as possible, so they aren’t eliminating the nine-game option,” a source told Wilner.

The Pac-12 is expected to kick off the 2020 season on Sept.
