College sports have been in limbo, but the Pac-12 Conference approved their plans for fall sports on Friday.
In their opening paragraph announcing the plans, the conference does acknowledge “practice policies and competition in all cases are subject to the approval of public health authorities and medical advice.”
The Pac-12 CEO Group approved a 10-game (conference-only) football schedule as well as start dates and practice policies for conference only schedules in men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s cross country.
