Wednesday Dots: Any News?

The hammer finally dropped yesterday. The Pac-12 and Big 10 officially postponed any football season until after the new year. The Big 12 still intends to go forward with their season. I’m neither an epidemiologist nor a university administrator, so I won’t pretend that I have better judgment on the subject than they do. What I can do is round up links to the commentary on the subject:

• Larry Stone writes that that the Pac-12 made a heartbreaking call, but a necessary and correct one given the circumstances.

• Christian Caple examines some of the key questions facing the UW program in the wake of the fall season cancellation.

• The Athletic also has a broader profile of the implications for the conference at large.

• The great Bill Connelly at ESPN outlined what a spring football season might look like and how it could impact the 2021 season.

• The Pac-12 United group reacted to the news of the season cancellation. They expressed disappointment that they weren’t more involved in the discussion leading to the decision.

• In something closer to on-field news, local LB recruit Will Latu will forgo his senior HS season and enroll at UW. 247 has an interview with Latu.

• Dan Raley of Husky Maven digs into the history of January games at Husky Stadium.
