The Big 12 conference stayed firm with its decision to go ahead with college football and other fall sports Wednesday, joining the Atlantic Coast and Southeastern conferences amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The decision comes one day after the Big Ten and Pac-12 announced they would not participate this fall.
The Big 12 board of directors approved a plan to start fall sports after Sept. 1 with football playing a 10-game schedule, which includes one non-conference game before league play begins Sept. 26. The Big 12 championship game is set for Dec. 12 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
