Things Looking Dire for Last 4 PAC-12 Schools

I'm old enough to remember when conferences were solely regional: PAC-8 before the Arizona schools joined, the Big East as a Northeast league. It's been a long while, but I'm still trying to grasp the idea of Rutgers traveling to the Midwest for Big 10 games.

Premier League Suspends Matches After Queen's Death

The folks at the Football Supporters Association were upset: they believe having the matches was an opportunity for fans to show their respect (minute of silence, nation "coming together").

Though, they did make sure to express concern about potential reimbursement: I guess it's understandable as weekend matches will be played on weeknights; supporters, especially traveling supporters, might be unable to attend.
