PAC-12 Postpones All Athletics Through 2020
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Citing concerns with the current COVID-19 pandemic, the PAC-12 has opted to halt all sport competitions through the end of 2020, following days of rumors and unanswered questions. The decision was made by conference officials after consulting with athletic directors as well as the PAC-12 COVID-19 Medical Advisory Committee, and came just hours after the Big 10 announced the postponement of their college football season earlier in the day.
Student-athletes under scholarship will have their endowment guaranteed, and the conference is taking the extra step of encouraging the NCAA to grant an extra year of eligibility.
