The move, planned for 2024, would make the Big Ten the first college athletics conference to stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

The conference will play a seven-game season with the championship slated for December. The Big Ten made a similar decision earlier this month. Both say players will receive daily Covid-19 tests.

Facing pressure from athletes, parents, coaches and President Trump, the Big Ten said it will return to football with new precautions, reversing its decision last month to postpone the season.

The Big Ten and PAC-12 athletic conferences put all of their fall sports on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, much to the disappointment of fans.
