After two premier college athletics conferences said they'd postpone fall sports including football because of the Covid-19 pandemic, reports say that another still intends to play football this autumn.

The college football season remains in a state of flux, with the NCAA’s member institutions and conferences not exactly presenting a united front with regard to how to proceed amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

As matters stand now, two major conferences, the Big Ten and the Pac-12, will not play this fall. Two others, the SEC and the ACC, are hoping to move ahead with the plans they announced last week to delay competition until late September and move ahead with games. The Big 12 followed Wednesday by confirming its plans.

The cancellation of the Big 10 football season likely means a loss of millions of dollars for college towns such as Columbus, the home of The Ohio State University.

On Tuesday, the Big 10 formally delayed its fall athletics season, and could reschedule it for the spring.

“One of the big impacts in college towns will be retailers,” John Crossman, CEO of Crossman Career Builders, said in an email to The Center Square.
