The New York Post says college football in the spring is growing more likely as coronavirus cases continue to explode around the country.
Here is an excerpt:
But some acknowledge college football in the fall is filled with unavoidable landmines.
“I don’t even see how it’s real,” one Power Five coach said. “You are going to have 100-plus people in the locker room in close proximity. There is no way around that. If they are saying you can’t do that, I don’t see how we can operate when we are going to be on planes and buses with large groups of people and in hotels with other people. There is no way you are going to isolate 100 players, let alone the staff and coaches, and then say, ‘We’ll get together on Saturday for a game.’
“In college football, they really don’t have a solution yet.”

The consensus among the sport’s decision-makers is a resolution must come within the next three weeks. A lot depends upon school presidents’ decisions to allow students on campus, AAC commissioner Mike Aresco told The Post.
“I don’t see why we wouldn’t play if students are on campus and we can have a controlled environment,” he said.
According to ESPN, no season would cost about $4 billion in losses to the sport.
