Pac-12 football schedule set; Big Game moves to October

The Pac-12 Conference has released its 2012 football schedule and the biggest news is that the Big Game against Cal, which has traditionally been played in November, will be held Oct. 20 in Berkeley.

“The Oct. 20 date for Big Game in 2012 is certainly not our first choice but the conference is governed by the will of the majority, and we have a duty to respect the outcome of the vote,” said BOB BOWLSBY, Stanford’s director of athletics. “We will work with California and the Pac-12 Office to advocate for the Big Game and all rivalry games to be scheduled toward the end of the season in future years.”

Here’s the full schedule for 2012:
