Sources: Power 5 talking about no fall football

Commissioners of the Power 5 conferences held an emergency meeting on Sunday, as there is growing concern among college athletics officials that the upcoming football season and other fall sports can't be played because of the coronavirus pandemic, sources told ESPN.

Several sources have indicated to ESPN that Big Ten presidents, following a meeting on Saturday, are ready to pull the plug on its fall sports season, and they wanted to gauge if commissioners and university presidents and chancellors from the other Power 5 conferences -- the ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC -- will fall in line with them.

Sources told ESPN that a vast majority of Big Ten presidents have indicated that they would vote to postpone football season, hopefully to the spring. A Big Ten official confirmed to ESPN that no official vote took place during Saturday's meeting.

"It doesn't look good," one Power 5 athletic director said.

The Mid-American Conference on Saturday became the first FBS league to postpone the fall sports season, including football.

Presidents and chancellors of the Pac-12 universities are scheduled to meet on Tuesday.

Several sources have told ESPN over the past 48 hours that the postponement or cancellation of the football season seems inevitable. Many of those sources believed it ultimately will take a Power 5 conference to move things in that direction, and that either the Big Ten or Pac-12 would probably be the first league to do it.

"Nobody wanted to be the first to do it," a Power 5 coach told ESPN, "and now nobody will want to be the last."

A Power 5 administrator added: "It feels like no one wants to, but it's reaching the point where someone is going to have to."

The ACC, Big 12 and SEC have wanted to wait to see what happened after thousands of students returned to their campuses this month, but they might be forced to act if the Big Ten and/or Pac-12 take action this week, the sources said.

I hope you've all saved your games on the dvr!! This is looking like it's a wash on the college football season. No football is gonna suck hard but it's time to start moving your head to that fact. Look around on the S.E.C. network and record some old games in the middle of the night so you've got some football to help pull you thru this. I want football as bad as anyone but am awakening to the fact more and more every day that this might go down in history as the season we didn't play college football

It's honestly beyond belief what has gone down in 2020. No football season because of politics, we actually arrived at that point. Every effing thing in our lives is now political. Me brushing my teeth is making a political statement to someone somewhere.

Do you have white teeth? If so, your white privilege is showing. I'm joking, but it isn't that far off from current reality. Manners are now considered white privilege.
