The Pacific-12 Conference announced Thursday it'll play fall football after all, following in the footsteps of other colleges in hastily getting back on the field despiteIn a statement, the conference said that football teams approved to play by local and state health officials can kick off Nov. 6, while basketball will begin Nov. 25.
"The Pac-12 institutions are also participating in a national COVID-19 cardiac registry which will allow for medical practitioners to monitor closely, and gain greater insight into, potential health outcomes in student-athletes," the statement said. The alliance of a dozen prominent West Coast and Mountain time zone universities completely flipped the script it had written just six weeks ago, when it announced all intercollegiate sports would be sidelined until 2021.
