The Doomsday Clock for a fall college football season moved a minute closer to midnight on Sunday evening, as ESPN reported that the “vast majority” of Big Ten university presidents are ready to push college football to the spring. A conference call between the Big Ten leaders was held on Sunday, but no official vote was taken, per ESPN.
According to their sources, commissioners of the Power 5 conferences held an emergency meeting on Sunday to gauge whether the university presidents and chancellors from the other conferences — the ACC, Big 12, Pac-12, and SEC — would follow the Big Ten’s lead.
