The University of Connecticut canceled its 2020 football season today, becoming the first FBS program to suspend football because of the coronavirus pandemic, as other schools had taken the Huskies off their schedules and the governor was reluctant to allow UConn to travel to states with high infection rates. The Huskies had been scheduled to play its first season as an independent after leaving the American Athletic Conference.
The Big Ten released its 10-game conference-only football schedule beginning as early as Labor Day weekend today but cautioned there is no
certainty games will be played. Under the revised schedule, teams will play conference opponents they originally were set to meet and will have one additional cross-division game. Big 10 commissioner Kevin Warren told the Big Ten Network today there’s currently no guarantee that games will be played or having fall sports as a whole.
A report from the Austin American Statesman indicates the Big 12 will announce a new football schedule sometime in the next couple weeks with league openers on September 19th and 26th.
