Seems like the smart PR play is to postpone Big Game until 12/1. Why wait?
To cancel it on Saturday AM, or worse minutes before kickoff, would create so many challenges.
The cancellation would also help the Pac-12 reinforce the idea that the welfare of California citizens is more important than trying to host a football game. I can certainly sit at the stadium enduring the equivalent of a Cigar Bar for a few hours, but seems crazy to make players go through that.
Though, I guess if it is has been a hard prep week for Stanford it must be closer to impossible for UCB.
I recall after the Pac-12 WSU at UCB game, UCB, the Pac-12 and others pledged to prioritize athlete safety NEXT time. I am sure they thought next time would be never, but NEXT time is this Saturday apparently.
FWIW - NCAA Soccer should definitely move to a venue in Socal. Potentially some place like UC Irvine. They are hosting a Men's Soccer game tonight, so the venue is soccer ready. FWIW2 - I would have said the StubHub center but the LA Chargers play on Sunday.
