College Football Season In Limbo Due To Coronavirus Concerns, Players' Criticism

On July 31, some of the biggest college football conferences — including the Pac-12 — announced plans to start their seasons at the end of September. Schedules would change a bit, as teams would only play their in-conference opponents.

But continuing concerns about COVID-19 — how football can be played with social distancing, which isn’t actually possible — and a number of Pac-12 and Big Ten players calling for a reconsideration has left the college season in jeopardy.

To learn more about what the possibilities are right now, The Show spoke with Billy Witz, who covers college sports for the New York Times.
