It's time for kickoff

It’s time for football. The fall 2020 Pac-12 football season was delayed by the global pandemic, leaving student-athletes — and fans, and corporate partners and sponsors, and budgets — on hold. Initially delayed until the spring, the Pac-12 now is ramping up to launch its 2020 football season beginning the weekend of Nov. 6.

How devastating was hitting the pause button for the season? How did the student-athletes deal with the delay? How structured were things where the season was on hold? We talk about the challenges presented — and now look at the challenges of hitting the “go” switch and getting ready to play live games in just six weeks.
