(AP) - The Big Ten and Pac-12 won't play football this fall because of concerns about COVID-19, taking two of college football's five power conferences out of a crumbling season amid the pandemic. The Pac-12 Conference voted on Tuesday to cancel the college football season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning no Huskies games this fall.
Less than an hour after the Big Ten's announcement, the Pac-12 called a news conference to discuss a meeting with its universities' presidents. The health, safety and well-being of our student-athletes and all those connected to Pac-12 sports has from day one been our top, top priority. Many of them have the same values that we have, and we’re happy they’re joining us.”The ACC said in a release on Tuesday that it would “continue to make decisions based on medical advice” and “follow the process that has been in place for months and served us well.” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said his conference would “continue to refine ... policies and protocols for a safe return to sports.”College football has held a season every year since Princeton and Rutgers played the first game in 1869, although many games were eliminated during the flu pandemic of 1918. “We feel good about our decision. The full 2020 conference schedule "From the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, we have been committed to prioritizing the health and safety of our student athletes and all those connected to our athletic programs," Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott "The schedule and plans approved today and path to return to competition are subject to public health orders and will be taken in accordance with the health and well-being guidelines developed by our Pac-12 Medical Advisory Committee. “It’s a matter of how you make the appropriate adjustments on both the expense side and the revenue creation side.”Anderson said a plan is being discussed within the Pac-12 to draw an advance on media rights that would allow athletic departments to create a line of credit as bridge financing to cover a short term financial deficit. The group, which claims to represent hundreds of players in the conference, threatened to sit out fall camp and the season unless its demands were met. “What we decided is that essentially what we would do is put a pause, basically until 2021, and we’ll constantly be reassessing the data. The NCAA did give an extra season of eligibility to spring sport athletes after their season was canceled.For UW, a postponed season means Jimmy Lake’s head coaching debut will be delayed.“I’m so grateful for our medical team and our administration for the time they have committed the last several weeks and months to put together a plan as we worked to get back on the field this fall,” Lake said in a statement. That’s something that we’re deeply committed to. The Big Ten and Pac-12 college conferences abandoned their plans to play football this fall. “After reviewing all the data and considering the alternatives, and after having already delayed the start of our season and compressed our season, the CEO Group was unanimous that this decision was necessary.”The Pac-12 was the second Power Five Conference to postpone its fall sports season, following closely behind the Big Ten. We have all sorts of people who were hoping that we’d be able to do this. We remain committed to providing the greatest experience possible for our players. "It's not a done deal but appears to be a likely opportunity," he said while adding that no decision at ASU has been made whether to participate in such a loan if no football is played in 2020-21.Scott admits the “uncharted territory” of potentially staging two football seasons – in the spring and fall – in 2021 and organizational burden of conducting two semesters of sports in one is daunting.The likelihood is great that NFL caliber football players will opt not to play in a spring season because of injury risk and those who do play then return in 2021-22 would be subject to unprecedented strain on their bodies beyond COVID-19.“There’s a lot more work that needs to be done,” Scott said.
We have coaches. “We’ve said all along that our decisions would be guided by our commitment to our students’ health and welfare, and that will continue to be our focus in light of this very difficult and disappointing decision for all of us.“What we’ll do now is support our students whose seasons have been disrupted and ensure they have what they need to stay healthy, be successful in their classes and maintain their fitness as we wait for the country to get to a place where it’s possible to play college sports again.”The Pac-12 considered further delaying or compressing the football season — an eight-game schedule starting in October was discussed — but Scott said there was “no indication things are likely to change in terms of the criteria that influenced this in the next few weeks.”While the loss of revenue for the conference will be drastic, Scott said that subject wasn’t raised during conversations with presidents and chancellors.“Obviously there are very significant impacts,” he said, “but the health and safety is the first obligation and duty and the primary focus.”While no Pac-12 athletic competition can occur before 2021, Scott said teams are permitted to begin or continue with 20 hours of weekly meetings and walk-throughs.
