The Big 12 assembly crowned a historic day in which two primary assemblies decided to cancel autumn sports. The Big Ten announced its resolution mid-afternoon and less than two hours later, the Pac-12 followed.
The American-Statesman reported Monday that UT officers must play this season. The school has already spent thousands on protective and testing devices, as well as strict protocols.
League officials at both meetings said COVID-19 statistics on their geographical footprint were the main explanation for the reason for the cancellation. School rectors also realized physical fitness by appearing the effects of the virus on the heart.
However, the CCA and SEC planned to move forward, and the 12 grand were expected to be a decisive vote. If the big 12 decided to keep playing, the CCA and SEC would move on. Otherwise, school football would probably be completely canceled.
The ACC has already released a new 11-game schedule and the SEC has revealed the nine conflicting parties the team will face as a component of the team’s 10-game schedule.
