Football Season

[Utephoria]

So if President Trump can get the Big10 back to playing football by the end of fall, do you think the PAC12 follows suit, since we are tied at the hip to the Big10? What they do we do.

Sorry in advance for the long link address (fixed)

The Pac12 is going to look like such a clusterf**k if they are the only P5 league that is not playing this fall – and rightfully so.

[dystopiamembrane]

I do think they follow suit, yes.

[Rick]

Our conference will do whatever the Big Ten, our big brother, does.  You can bet your life on it.

[Central Coast Ute]

I’m not sure if it’s up to the President or the BIG commissioner. My understanding is the university presidents made the decision the shut it down.

[Stone]

This is true. But those university presidents are under increasing pressure from fans (and a lawsuit from Nebraska players) to #letthemplay

[utefansince79]

Once the state of California pretty much nixed fall sports statewide, our conference’s fate was sealed

 

[Central Coast Ute]

^^^ this. I can’t see how the PAC 12 can play with out governor Gavins blessing

[Utesbyfive]

I think he just banned spectators right? Might be able to play if they have none. I’m not sure though.

[McAfeeKnob]

I think this in reference to the California state university system canceling fall sports which I believe is still in effect. 

[Central Coast Ute]

I dont think he will allow any contact sports. You have to be within six feet of each other, so Gavin is against it.

[Utesbyfive]

Oh brother. Such overkill.

[McAfeeKnob]

the rams, chargers and 49ers will play in California this year but not the college teams. Doesn’t make a lot of sense. 

[Central Coast Ute]

True, and pro baseball is playing here too. Not sure why the college teams feel like they can’t play other than liability and/or political issues.

[AllInUteFan]

Remember, there are two university systems in California. The State schools (SDSU, FSU, etc.) and the Univ of Cal schools, (UCLA, UCBerkely, etc.) Different boards control each. The State schools banned sports, the UC schools did not.

[McAfeeKnob]

Any lawyers on the board?

[Duhwayne]

What’s the question?

[SorryWife]

Does anyone think the if the BIG10 back tracks that the PAC will even entertain the idea?

[Central Coast Ute]

Not me. They may start in January but I don’t see fall happening at all. A lot of counties in California are still shut down and I haven’t heard much about re-opening.

[RustyShackleford]

I’m fine playing without the California schools

[PlainsUte]

He’s probably hoping the BigTen plays leaving “Pelosi’s liberal left coast” Pac-12 the only P5 not playing!

[Central Coast Ute]

Lots of blue in the BIG though

[PlainsUte]

Also “battleground” states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.

Trump is not going to win Calif, Oregon, Washington.

[Central Coast Ute]

Good call

[UtMtBiker]

Or Mich, Wis, and Penn
