I agree with the ADs. College football is happening. ****, it's only April, and redneck Georgia is tattooing and doing nails and hair and massages.
I think the season will be pushed back a few months, but I absolutely believe some teams will play this year. There's just too much money at stake for them to cancel the season.
I don't think any schools in NY or NJ will play at all, they're both done for the year.
California's Governor wants to take extra precaution so they might not have any large gatherings or games until next year. The director of Santa Clara county's health department who was the first Doctor to order the Shelter in place lockdown has recently said there won't be any sports in her county until after Thanksgiving, the Niners, Warriors, SF Giants & Stanford all play in that region.
Idk if Washington wil play any games either, they early on had a high infection rate, but got ahold of the contagion after locking down the state, I would assume they'll probably be skeptical to reopen the state to large gathering events. Probably will be no fans if they play any games.
Where it will get tricky is what Louisiana, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan & Pennsylvania do, they were all hit pretty hard with spikes in positive tests & have had the most deaths, outside of NY & NJ.
Texas has a high recovery rate & low death rate, all there teams will definitely play this year. Florida is gonna play too, wouldn't matter how many people died, no way a dude like DeSantis would shut down football lol.
Most of the South, Southwest, the Mountain states & most of the Midwest except for Michigan/Illinois have pretty low death numbers & will probably play fan-less football this season.
It'll all be up to the Governors.
