Why is USC football set to play 10 games in 2020 instead of a full 11-game Pac-12 schedule?
During the coronavirus pandemic response, USC football has lost three out of conference games and will reportedly add another. Why not two?
Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News first reported the Pac-12 will play a 10-game conference-only schedule in 2020 last week but the official word is still forthcoming. That comes on the back of the conference formally nixing the non-conference slate.
USC’s games against Alabama, New Mexico and Notre Dame were canceled as a result.
