Jumbo Package: To play or not to play?

Happy Monday, everyone. We would really love to have other topics to discuss other than whether football will be played and when, but that’s what we have.

“We are doing as much as possible,” Byrne said. “We are testing aggressively. We are conducting contact tracing. The health and safety of our student-athletes has been and remains our first priority.”

The athletes are not on 24-hour lockdown and have freedom during their time away from voluntary activities but the University has had virtual speakers to discuss social distancing. The UA athletic department has also generated video presentations, not only for the athletes, but also for their parents.
