A sign that the Pac-12 may really not think much of the football season will be played, the conference is talking about a low-interest rate (3.75%) loan program for school athletic departments for up to $1 billion per school in the event football is cancelled. Jon Wilner has a report on it, but the crappy Mercury News site is throwing up so many popups and redirecting, so I can't see the details. Its still both encouraging, in that this is the first realistic plan to proceed without a football season, and instructive that it may be laying the foundation for cancellation in the light of an enormous number of issues that are going to be difficult to deal with safely.
