The Pac-12 has discussed the possibility of a conference-only 2020 season, USC football head coach Clay Helton said.

The reality of USC football’s 2020 season may involve canceling the non-conference schedule.

Head coach Clay Helton confirmed that much on Monday during the first of the Pac-12’s planned webinars with coaches from around the conference.

Familiar voice Pete Arbogast asked Helton, Stanford head coach David Shaw and Washington State head coach Nick Rolovich the question concerning the solution instituted during World War II when the college football schedule was disrupted by war and the Spanish Flu.
