The Pac-12’s decision to postpone all sports, including football, last month has come increasingly under scrutiny in recent weeks, and may soon be headed to a reversal.
A new revelation from Oregon Live’s James Crepea will likely only increase that scrutiny.
Per the report, Pac-12 presidents and chancellors were given a presentation with erroneous statistics that overstated the prevalence of COVID-19 in some of the conference’s communities at the time. After seeing the presentation, the leaders voted unanimously to postpone all conference sports until at least Jan. 1.
The worst mistake was reportedly a seven-day average positivity rate for tests in Los Angeles County.
