I don't get that worked up about these various re-opening decisions beyond the disappointment/frustration that K-12 education is not deemed "important enough" to "find a way" to get back in the classroom.

Maybe it's just my Stanford elitism showing, but I would think that education would be pretty high on my list of essential activities, and pretty damned more important than a bunch of college kids moving a ball 100 yards.

Other countries must snicker at the USA at this point.   Pro and college sports are prioritized over K-12 and college education.   
Limited real time testing resources are reserved for athletes rather than first responders, teachers, etc.

The access to real time testing is a game changer for the Pac-12 though.   That approach should really reduce the rate of spread.   It sure would be nice to have those resources for those saving lives and educating children, but I realize in the USA athletics at every level is just more important.

Given the Pac-12 is unlikely to get a CFP participant, the other bowl games are not that critical.   It might be best for the Pac-12 to just keep playing right into January and February.   Doubt that would happen, but would rather see the Pac-12 play 11 games than play 6 or 7 just to then watch 4 other conferences play in the CFP.

I trust we are looking at a 5+1 or 5+2 type structure or 7 or 8 weeks.    

I would definitely be up for putting the Stanford v Cal game in a neutral venue so that we could get Big Games at Stanford in even years starting with 2022.
