It’s official: Football is coming to the Pac-12 in 2020.
The conference announced Thursday they have voted to allow football to play a seven-game conference season beginning on Nov. 6, reversing an earlier decision to cancel all NCAA sports through Jan. 1 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The release said men’s and women’s basketball will also begin play before the end of the year, on Nov. 25. Obviously, all three sports are of considerable interest to Stanford and Cardinal fans.
The Pac-12 were among the first conferences to cancel the fall sports season, but like the Big Ten, have backtracked and approved a modified season after seeing other conferences begin their seasons.
