Momentum had been building for about a week for the Big Ten to vote to have football return this fall, and that’s exactly what happened yesterday. In an equally unsurprising turn, it looks like the Pac-12 is also heading in that direction, and now could begin play as soon as Halloween.
We say unsurprising because there was and is absolutely no way the Pac-12 was going to be left all alone on an island as the only Power 5 conference not playing football this fall; you’ll note the Pac-12 postponed its fall season until at least January 1 shortly after the Big Ten did the same.
