California Gov. Gavin Newsom says there are currently no coronavirus restrictions in place that would prohibit USC and other Pac-12 schools from participating in conference athletics.
During a press briefing Wednesday, Newsom addressed a plea from USC football players calling on the governor to loosen coronavirus-related restrictions to allow for play to resume this fall.
When asked about the letter, Newsom said there is “nothing in the state guidelines that denies the Pac-12 from having conference games.”
