The Big Ten did what pretty much everyone expected them to do on Tuesday afternoon, officially cancelling their football season this fall with no guarantee or promise that it’ll be played in the spring.
Over the last few weeks most have expected the Big Ten to act first in cancelling their season and that the Pac-12 would quickly follow, just like they did when announcing conference-only schedules last month.

Now we may be getting that second domino in the Power Five to fall as the Pac-12 has scheduled a news conference for later this afternoon, at 4:30 p.m. ET to be specific.

They’re either announcing they’re cancelling their fall sports schedule as well or will be announcing a plan to move their schedule back further into the fall. Either way this certainly has to do with the colleges athletic schedules and if you’re really hoping for teams to be playing, I’d say there is nothing that will come from this that you’ll see as “good”.
