College Football Rumors: These Power Five Conferences To Cancel Seasons
The 2020 college football season might be on life support.
Two Power Five conferences, the Big Ten and the Pac-12, will cancel their 2020 seasons by Tuesday, Dan Patrick reported Monday morning. The longtime sports personality also reported that the ACC and Big 12 are “on the fence,” while the SEC is trying to find ways to make a season happen.
The news arrived two days after the Mid-American Conference became the first FBS conference to cancel its 2020 football season.
