NICK BROMBERG: Now that we know the Big Ten is not playing football in the fall of 2020, will other Power Five conferences follow suit? Nick Bromberg here with Yahoo Sports. The news that the Big Ten will not play football in the fall of 2020 and is gonna aim for a spring 2021 season came just days after the conference released its modified fall schedule. It also means that the Pac-12 could likely follow the Big Ten as the next Power Five conference to potentially push football to the spring.
As of now the Big 12, ACC, and SEC seem committed to trying to play football in the fall of 2020. That was a big reason why the SEC moved the start of the SEC season to September 26th, to see how the coronavirus pandemic trends would emerge at college campuses across the South when students return to campus in the coming weeks. The Big Ten could be an outlier. It could be one of just many dominoes. We're gonna wait and see in the coming weeks.
