The Big 10 and Pac-12 Conference have canceled their college sports seasons until the end of 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. So there is no college football. However, three more Power 5 Conference want to play.
The Big 10 Conference was the first to cancel its fall college season, followed a little later by the Pac-12. Both stated that they might be aiming for a spring season.
The Big 12 Conference, on the other hand, is currently tending to play its fall season as planned. Several media reports unanimously. An official statement has not yet been made.
The ACC and SEC, in turn, are sticking to their plans for a fall season of college football. In separate statements they made it clear that there were no changes in the planning. College Football will therefore take place in at least three of the Power 5 Conferences according to the current status.
College Football: SEC Commissioner satisfied with approach
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement, “I look forward to learning more about the factors that led to today’s Big 10 and Pac-12 decisions. I continue to feel comfortable with the thorough and deliberate approach that the the SEC and our 14 members demonstrate to support a healthy environment for our student athletes. “
It is unclear what effect Tuesday’s events will have on potential college football playoffs. However, all three conferences that were still active had already published fixtures a week ago, which mainly contain intra-conference games, so that long trips are avoided too well.
