I look at this way - regardless of how you feel about the virus (you think it's going to kill us all, it's completely overblown, or somewhere in between) you have to consider how others are going to act. If some states/schools/conferences decide (rightfully or wrongfully) that they don't like how things are going and that football won't be played there and they are on your schedule, then it will impact you. Even if they are not on your schedule, if enough of them do it then it's going to impact the sport significantly overall.
Example: The Governor of South Carolina said this a few days ago:
“I will not remove those restrictions,” McMaster said. “I cannot lift those restrictions, if these numbers continue to rise and the danger persists. I can’t do it. I won’t do it. This fall will not be like other falls. We will not be able to have college football. We will not be able to have high school football.”
If he follows through with that and similar things happen elsewhere, then the debate about the safety of letting the players play does not matter. If enough crucial pieces won't let football happen then I think the NCAA has no choice but to delay.
