PAC-12 announcement expected at 1:30pm

I believe they said they are "postponing" their season.  They will try to play in the spring.

BC

Do they offer scholarships for "kicking the can" down the street and around the block?  These people will sell out their sacred "student athletes" faster than TV networks can write checks for broadcasting rights. Which, come to think about it, will be pretty skinny in the foreseeable future. Thus, some panicky folks running amok today.  https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/annki...473512.php

I am confident Stanford University will honor scholarships so students can attend classes and graduate. 

Not super confident that will be true everywhere.    A number of schools need annual football revenue to pay for almost everything, do not have meaningful assets and carry a mountain of debt.   Many of those institutions are regional public state schools that may not be able to ask their states for sports bailout cash while the government is unable to pay for far more essential community services (police, fire, teachers, unemployment benefits, etc.).

PAC-12 guaranteed scholarships for opt-outs. Shouldn’t it be the same if the season is canceled?
