After NCAA Chairman Mark Emmert said he couldn’t see a college football season without students being on campus, Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman echoed those sentiments.
Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby also agreed.
There is a growing belief those comments could cost Emmert his job because he’s not seeing the big picture of how important football is in the Power 5 conferences. Bowlsby also may come to regret his comments.
The Big East is a basketball powerhouse but not part of the Power 5.
It is still more than three months until the college football season is scheduled to begin, and most of the nation is trending favorably in the number of new covid-19 cases.
