AP Sources: Pac-12 football season to kick off in November
AP College Football Writer | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 5 years, 2 months AGO
The Pac-12 has decided to play football in the fall, reversing an August decision to postpone until spring because of concerns about COVID-19.
Two people with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Thursday that the conference’s presidents had voted to stage a six-game season, starting the weekend of Nov. 7 with a championship game the weekend of Dec. 19.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the Pac-12 had not finalized an official announcement.
The conference did say in a news release that it would hold a webinar with Commissioner Larry Scott and Pac-12 leaders later Thursday.
