Two major college football conferences recently canceled their fall seasons because of concerns over the new coronavirus. The Big Ten and Pac-12 athletic conferences announced they would not have a fall football season and would also postpone other sports. College football is a tradition in America and has millions of fans across the country. The two powerful conferences have valuable agreements to play games shown on television. The move comes five months after the spread of coronavirus cases in the U.S. led to the cancellation of the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments. Other winter sports also had their seasons cut short and spring sports were canceled.
