Pac-12 officially postpones all sports through end of 2020 calendar year due to COVID-19 concerns
on August 11, 2020 at 8:23 pm
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (FOX Carolina) The Pac-12 Conference announced they'll be <a href="https://pac-12.com/article/2020/08/11/pac-12-conference-postpones-all-sport-competitions-through-end-calendar-year" target="_blank">postponing all sports</a> through the end of the 2020 calendar year. Tuesday's announcement follows a similar one made by the <a href="https://www.foxcarolina.com/news/big-ten-conference-postpones-2020-21-fall-sports-season-due-to-coronavirus-pandemic/article_42b707aa-8d27-56e3-9d01-ebd5d929f1fb.html" target="_blank">Big Ten Conference</a>. The Pac-12 CEO Group made the unanimous vote to postpone after consultation with athletics directors and the conference's <a href="http://xs.pac-12.com/2020-08/Pac-12%20Covid-19%20Return%20to%20Play%20Considerations%2008.10.2020.pdf" target="_blank">Medical Advisory Committee</a>. “All of the Pac-12 presidents and chancellors understand the importance of this decision, and the disappointment it will create for our student-athletes, the coaches, support staff and all of our fans,” said Michael H. Schill, president of the University of Oregon. “Ultimately, our decision was guided by science and a deep commitment to the health and welfare of student-athletes. We certainly hope that the Pac-12 will be able to return to competition in the New Year.” The conference says that student-athletes affected by the decision will continue to receive their scholarships. They will continue to have support from the university, including academic advising and tutoring, among other support services. Also, the Pac-12 conference says they're strongly encouraging that the NCAA grant students who opt out of competition during the upcoming academic year an additional year of eligibility. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said that though the conference's plan to keep student-athletes safe in accordance with the Pac-12 COVID-19 Medical Advisory Committee guidelines and state and local government orders, the situation was becoming more challenging. He said college sports can't operate in a bubble - referencing how some professional leagues are now operating to continue their seasons. “Our athletic programs are a part of broader campuses in communities where in many cases the prevalence of COVID-19 is significant. We will continue to monitor the situation and when conditions change we will be ready to explore all options to play the impacted sports in the new calendar year.” Pac-12 hopes that conditions will begin to improve within the coming months, and would consider a return to competition for affected sports after January 1, 2021. “We know that this is a difficult day for our student-athletes, and our hearts go out to them and their families,” added Scott. “We have made clear that all of their scholarships will be guaranteed, and that as a Conference we are strongly encouraging the NCAA to grant them an additional year of eligibility.” Talks among other conferences concerning the future of their fall sporting seasons.

Joe Biden picks Kamala Harris as his running mate
on August 11, 2020 at 8:20 pm
(CNN) -- Joe Biden has named Kamala Harris as his running mate, making the California senator the first woman of color to run on a major political party's presidential ticket. This is a breaking news story and will be updated. ORIGINAL STORY: <a href="https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/candidate/biden" target="_blank">Joe Biden</a> has selected his running mate, revealing to top advisers on Tuesday the woman he will invite to join his Democratic presidential ticket, two people familiar with the matter tell CNN. He is poised to make the announcement as early as Tuesday. The Biden campaign has informed some of the women the former vice president's team vetted about his choice of running mate, three sources familiar with the matter tell CNN. California Rep. Karen Bass, chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, was told by Biden himself that she was not the pick, a source familiar tells CNN. Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams was also informed Tuesday that she is not Biden's vice presidential pick, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN. As part of the selection process, the former vice president spoke directly to the final contenders, according to people familiar with the process, through either face-to-face meetings or remote conversations. Officials would not say which of the candidates visited Biden in person, but CNN confirmed last week that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer had flown to Delaware for a meeting. California Sen. Kamala Harris and former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice are among the others seen as the most serious contenders. CNN had previously reported that Biden was also believed to be considering Bass, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, people familiar with the search say. In yet another sign that the pick is imminent, a Biden campaign official told CNN on Tuesday that they have assembled the staff for Biden's future running mate. Karine Jean-Pierre, who joined the Biden campaign as a senior adviser in May, will lead the running mate's team as chief of staff. Jean-Pierre had previously worked for Barack Obama and Martin O'Malley's presidential campaigns. Two veterans of the Obama-Biden administration are also joining the team. Liz Allen, who served as deputy communications director for Biden as vice president as well as deputy communications director in the White House, is joining as communications director to the running mate. And Sheila Nix, who was chief of staff to Biden's reelection campaign in 2012 and served as Jill Biden's chief of staff in the White House, will be a senior adviser to the running mate and spouse. The vice presidential pick is expected to also add a few of her own advisers to the team. Whoever Biden settles on will be a history-making choice in her own right, becoming only the third woman to be nominated as a vice presidential candidate for a major party's ticket. CNN's Dana Bash contributed to this report.
