Awful Announcing
The Big 12 looks set to proceed with nine conference games and one non-conference game per team, plus a championship game. But a lot remains up in the air.
"I’ve always felt from that moment on, I would never be able to outrun him — even though I’ve tried."
Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit will call the second game of the Week 1 MNF doubleheader, and could still be options if college football doesn't happen.
The SEC is the latest conference to move to conference-only scheduling.
This is a black eye for the LA Times and the Pac-12.
In addition to scheduling benefits from becoming an ACC member in football for 2020, Notre Dame might make some extra TV money from the move.
"The FCS is a round-robin championship with 20 teams participating." Wrong and wrong.
Some conferences, including the Pac-12, are planning to start football later this year, but some Big 12 schools are not. Oklahoma moved up their Week One game to Week Zero, and Kansas found a new opponent to play in Week Zero after their Week One game against New Hampshire was cancelled.
Under this proposed schedule, the Pac-12 conference championship game could be held Dec. 4, or on either of the following two weekends.
This season focuses on the Laney Eagles and head coach John Beam, coming off an 11-2 2018 season and a California Community College Athletic Association title.

Other conferences are expected to make similar announcements in the near future.
"The way it is right now, they just don't want to have sports and there's no way in this world you can do anything in this world without a risk. People stormed Normandy ... They knew there was going to be casualties, they knew there was going to be risk, but it was a way of life."
On Thursday, the Big Ten became the first Power Five conference to say they won't play out-of-conference games this fall. Others may follow.
