The PAC-12 is ready for some teams to sit out the college football season.
The PAC-12 has a variety of scenarios that the conference is looking at for the football season during the coronavirus pandemic. Two options are playing just conference games, or playing a single non-conference game and then 10 PAC-12 matchups. Well, the conference is also ready for some teams to not play at all.

“There are scenarios where we move as a conference together, and scenarios where not everyone can but most can. To be clear, I’m not saying we would go in that direction. I just want to underscore that we’re looking at everything,” conference Commissioner Larry Scott said when discussing the situation, according to the Mercury News.

While I’m not cheering for PAC-12 teams to sit out, we have to realize that it’s not really that big of a deal. I’m not trying to be mean, but nobody cares about the PAC-12.
Sure, USC was awesome back in the day and Oregon and Washington can still ball out, but the PAC-12 is irrelevant on the national stage when compared to the SEC and Big 10.

If teams from the PAC-12 sit out, then that’s what will happen. There will be a minor ripple felt through the college football landscape, but it’s not going to bring the sport to a grinding halt.
Now, if SEC and Big 10 teams start packing up and going home, then we have a very different story on our hands.
However, the PAC-12 is a bit of a joke outside of the top two or three teams. If programs want to sit out, then we’ll see them in 2021.
