Jon Wilner is advising the Pac-12 will announce plans week for a 10 game Pac-12 season starting mid-September, with an option to retain the 9 game schedule (with a few modified dates), and 3 possibilities for the Conference Championship Game.

What is less clear is what the indication is that leads to the belief that the surge in the Covid virus will subside by then. What is totally unclear is how college football can be conducted legally, never mind safely, when football as an activity at any level is currently prohibited in (at least) 1 (maybe 2) state the conference is in, and most of another, or how limits on gathering sizes can be exceeded for a few organizations, but not others.
