SEC, ACC are still planning on having a football season
(3:23)
The SEC has plans to move forward with football in 2020, and on Monday, the conference will announce its full schedule. The release will begin at 3 p.m. ET as the games for the SEC’s Week 1 – slated for Sept. 26 – will be announced on The Paul Finebaum Show. This will be followed by a full unveiling of the 10-game, only conference schedule at 7 pm ET.
Based on previous announcements, it is already known that each SEC team will have a built-in open week on December 12 plus another league-wide open week to meet additional interruptions that may occur. The SEC Championship game is scheduled to be played Dec. 19 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. It was originally planned for Dec. 5th.
The league agreed to its adjusted schedule at the end of July and announced in early August that team would be given two extra games on top of their normal eight-game conference schedule. Of course, not everyone came out a winner and reports indicate that a conference call from coaches got “controversial” over some competitive imbalance, if you will.
Still, football is being played – if at least planned, but that is far from a given in 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to affect the world.
