both stanford and uc berkeley are expressing disappointment that pac-12 sports will not begun until january. the schools canceled football because of health concerns over covid-19. the chancellors voted for the cancellation, which is the 1st time it was canceled since the conference was founded more than 100 years ago. >> we did not feel that moving to competition was the right thing for our student athletes to do. >> each school is expected to lose $50 million in lost ticket sales and television revenue, they hope to have fall sports in the spring. winter sports such as basketball have already started canceling games. >>> a break for representers in santa clara county. supervisors voted to extend protections against y victories because of the pandemic. now the rent moratorium is extended until the end of september. >> what keeps going through my mind is that we cannot expect people to pay what they do not have. it is critical that we every tool that we have and identify every tool available to us to do as much as we can to support tenants. >> the only cure that is going to happen is people

for more, we would like to bring in a doctor, a professor of infectious diseases at uc berkeley publich. it is was a pleasure to have you here. what do you think? is using outdoor space for teaching a good solution? >> i think it depends on where you are in, you know, children need to be socialized together. i think that the out door learning provides an opportunity to have in person education. of course, this also provides an opportunity that the parents can go back to work, also, i think it is a great way that we can consider this. >> from an infectious disease perspective, what are your concerns about moving the classrooms outside? >> again, it is important to keep social distancing. we need to follow the public health guidelines. we should wear a mask. we really need to minimize the exposure to the virus. other than that, that is the one shortcoming, if you have outdoor education, in person education, you will have a risk to being exposed to the virus. this is something we need to be careful with. but following social distancing, following the public health guidelines, i think outd

one study by researchers from uc berkeley shows it prevented 60 million infections and there are others. masks, social distancing, avoiding crowds. it's been prooumpb in other countries. it's been proven here. 4 out of 5 americans would have been infected without statewide social distancing measures so protective measures helped even as the white house squandered the early shutdown failing then and now to come up with a testing and tracing plan to contain the virus. atlas' opinions on schools are some of the president's favorites. here's what he said about whether cdc guidelines should be followed coming to your children. >> it doesn't matter if children get the disease. they don't get sick from this. and the data shows that they do not significantly transmit to adults. >> they can get sick. they are getting sick in increasing numbers. 40% uptick since july and little kids carry more virus in the nose. are you familiar with children's noses? they're the gift that keeps on giving. >> this is a level of hysteria like -- this is something -- i feel like i'm living in a kafka novel. i get

even more universities have canceled in person instruction, including uc berkeley. with classes just a few weeks away, leaders are deciding it is not worth the risk as cases continue to surge. for some students and parents, the about face is a let down. >> it is just so sad to see the rug pulled out from under him. >> it is a bit devastating. you really want to be in class and learn from these incredible professors. >> some schools are offering a 10% discount on tuition. but others are keeping tuition exactly the same. some students are suing for tuition refunds from the spring semester. >>> this week nbc bay area is launching keeping up in the classroom. we will be examining the fall-out of the pandemic and how it is impacting education in the bay area. we will discuss a rising trend in students taking gap years. that story and more all week right here on nbc bay area. >>> it remains to be seen during these uncertain times if or when college football will be played. but a dozen pac-12 players are threatening to sit out for a variety of reasons. among those are cal

you know, so we spent a lot of time walking through and all around uc berkeley and being on university. so it was a -- a very special time of protests and whatever was going on in our state or the country or around the world, we knew about it. so i think that exposure to the world and to, you know, to many different people, cultures, food, music, theater, all of that helped to shape the person she is today. >> so what do you think mike pence the vice president of the united states needs to know about getting on a debate stage with your friend, kamala harris? >> oh, boy. kamala's fierce. she's fierce. she is phenomenal. she is a very thoughtful person. so thoughtful in terms of what she says. she -- you know, she cares very, very much about this country and all of the people in it. she is -- she's ready. she's ready. so everything that she has worked so hard for over the decades being a prosecutor, being a district attorney for san francisco, you know, being california's attorney general and senator, it has groomed her, shaped her, got her ready. i would say it really all started, that
