California high school sports forced into three-month delay
The coronavirus pandemic prompted California to spike all fall high school sports on Monday, in favor of a new calendar that will compact all games, like football, into a few winter and spring months.
The California Interscholastic Federation, which regulates high school sports in the nation's largest state, won't stage any games in any sports until at least December, officials said.
The new calendar would mean football a staple of fall Friday nights across America's largest state would be played in the spring with the last game played no later than April 17, 2021, the CIF announced.
CIF Southern Section Commissioner Rob Wigod admitted the calendar not ideal. But because so many California schools have said they're going to start the fall term with just online instruction, this was the only option short of canceling whole seasons.
