BuffZone: While the Pac-12 Conference has yet to announce it will play football games this fall, momentum seems to be heading in that direction.
How prepared the teams will be remains a question, however.
On Wednesday, the Big Ten announced it is returning to competition next month, reversing course from its Aug. 11 announcement to postpone the fall season.
Quickly after the Big Ten’s announcement, however, the Pac-12 moved closer to a return, as well. Officials in California and Oregon are on track to allow those teams to practice, and with frequent, rapid-results testing coming to the conference soon, an early return is not only possible but probable at this point.
