BERKELEY (CBS SF) — There was a time when the UC-Berkeley football team was considered a darkhorse to win the Pac-12 North Division. That was before COVID ravaged the team’s season.

On Friday, the conference announced for a second straight week a Golden Bears game has been cancelled. With just four games remaining on the team’s COVID shortened 2020 schedule there were mounting doubts that the team may not be able to play this year.

“This decision was made under the Pac-12’s football game cancellation policy due to Arizona State not having the minimum number of scholarship players available for the game as a result of a number of positive football student-athlete COVID-19 cases and resulting isolation of additional football student-athletes under contact tracing protocols,” the conference announced. “Under Conference policy, the game will be declared a no contest.”
