Pac-12 votes to have seven-game season

- By J. Brady Mccollough Los Angeles Times

The Pac-12 presidents and chancellor­s voted Thursday afternoon to attempt a fall football season, the conference announced.

Seven weeks after deciding to postpone until 2021, the conference plans to start games Nov. 7 and play a seven-game season that will culminate with the Pac-12 championsh­ip game Dec.

18.

The conference's hope is that its deal with Quidel Corporatio­n for daily antigen testing for the coronaviru­s will allow for it to complete an abridged season without built-in bye weeks to accommodat­e postponeme­nts due to the virus and crown a champion in time for College Football Playoff considerat­ion.

The exact details of the schedule are still being formalized, according to the source.
