Pac-12 planning on a 10-game conference only schedule starting September 19.

Think that the Power V conferences are going to move ahead and try to play football this Fall until the virus starts taking rosters out. The ACC will incorporate ND into their conference schedule, and the SEC/ACC will play the one traditional rivalry game that involves teams from both conferences: Clemson/SC, FSU/Florida, GaT/UGA, L'ville/KY. Speculating that those games will count in the conference standings, so that everyone will play the same number of games that count. For those teams without an out of conference traditional rival, they will just play an additional conference game. Think most conferences will adopt a 10 game plan. Seems unlikely that every school will make it through the season, but we shall see as keeping the virus contained among 100 man football team (plus another 100 or more in support personnel) playing a full contact sport verges on the inconceivable. Then, add in the fact that these 200+ football people are mingling on a college campus with thousands of others and the venture seems unlikely to end well. Even so, looks like they will try.
Too many $$$ at stake not to try.
