The Pac-12 has officially shut down ALL of its sports until at least May 31 … forcing UCLA to cancel its annual spring football game next month.
The conference made the announcement Monday, saying in a statement schools cannot have ANY organized team activities “of any type” amid the suspension due to coronavirus.
The conference also says it will NOT allow in-person meetings … and says virtual workouts — supervised by a coach online — are also not permitted.
As a result, the Bruins said in a statement, “In light of today’s announcement by the Pac-12, our Spring Preview event on April 18 has been canceled.”
It all begs the question … with no spring practices and the start of organized offseason workouts nowhere in sight — could this be the beginning of the end of the college football season in 2020?
Remember, ESPN star Kirk Herbstreit said just a few days ago he’d be “shocked” if there was a season next year.
“I’ll be so surprised if that happens,” Kirk said … “I don’t know how you let these guys go into locker rooms and let stadiums be filled up and how you can play ball. I just don’t know how you can do it with the optics of it.”
NCAA football games are currently slated to kick off in the final weekend of August.
