A Cal football season that barely got started is now finished.
The Pac-12 Conference announced Sunday evening that the Bears’ tentatively scheduled season finale against Arizona has been canceled.
A strange and unsatisfying Cal season is mercifully over.
The conference earlier in the day announced matchups for next week’s final regular-season games. One day after Cal s game at Washington State was canceled just 90 minutes before kickoff, the Arizona vs. Cal was the only game revealed Sunday that did not include a date, time or TV information because both programs were dealing with COVID-19 issues.
The Pac-12’s statement canceling the game said neither team would have the minimum number of players available. The game is designated as a no-contest.

Update 12/10/20: This article has been updated to reflect a new kickoff time.
Grab your scarves, put on your hats and throw on at least one extra layer this weekend. Cal (1-3) is playing Washington State (1-2) in Pullman.
Temperatures will rise to a rosy 34 degrees Fahrenheit on Saturday and rest at perhaps a comfortable 30 degrees when the Cougars kick off against the Bears at 1:00 p.m. for a Pac-12 below-freezing matchup.
The cold is just another obstacle, though just another part of the two teams’ penultimate Pac-12 game.
