More Bad News For Those Hoping For College Football to Start on Time

Some bad news broke around the country as college football tries to get the season up and going

The news isn't looking good for college sports, as around the country there were a series of events that could mean a delay or cancellation of the upcoming season. The time continues to tick as we get closer to the start of the season. Here is what happened across the country today:

* The Ivy League announced today that they are cancelling their fall sports season. This impacts football, and the beginning of the basketball and hockey seasons. While this may not be a domino for the other leagues, it is worth watching. The Patriot League which could be next, might be the next to cancel, and that could impact the BC/Holy Cross game in October. 

* The Pac 12 might be the first Power 5 conference to pull the plug. Commissioner Larry Scott said "Unless we see a change in the trajectory of the spread of the virus and its impact pretty quickly, I think the situation's a lot more perilous than it was a few weeks ago."

* Ohio State and UNC both paused their voluntary workouts after a spike in positive results came back. Ohio State did not announce the number of positives, but UNC had 37 across a number of sports. They follow teams like Houston and Kansas who have already paused their workouts due to the rise in COVID19.

* The Northwestern and Wisconsin game scheduled to play at Wrigley Field has been moved to Evanston due to concerns over COVID19.
