Pac-12 Return To Football Updates

It's exciting when a normally incompetent conference knows it has to make a big decision with the eyes of the college football world on it . . . for once.

The meeting will start at 3 p.m.

A media press conference is scheduled around 5 p.m.

PARTICIPANTS AT PAC-12 PRESS CONFERENCE:

Michael Schill, University of Oregon President and Chair of the Pac-12 CEO Group
Larry Scott, Pac-12 Commissioner
Ray Anderson, Arizona State Vice President for University Athletics
Dr. Doug Aukerman, Oregon State Senior Associate Athletic Director, Sports Medicine and Chair of the Pac-12 Student-Athlete Health & Well-Being Initiative

Couple of notes about the Pac-12 and CFP.
Even if the P12 champ doesn't qualify for the CFP, the P12 is guaranteed a spot in a NY6 bowl. That's $4 million.
Also, each P5 conference gets a $66 million from the CFP annually, regardless of teams selected.

Colorado has been in the news today because Boulder County issues order halting gatherings for college-aged residents. That means the football team would be unable to practice for two weeks unless it can work out an alternative.

It would not be surprising if football gets a waiver.

Things could be worse. Ask Houston.

Houston vs. North Texas canceled.

UH's 2020 FB sked:
