Florida football: NCAA should consider changing its calendar for practices

For now, Florida football is sitting dormant.

In the midst of spring practice, the Gators — along with every other college football team — is idle at least until April 15 as the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues across the country.

All 2020 spring sports have been canceled by the conference.

Southeastern Conference Commission Greg Sankey was cautiously optimistic about things returning to normal after the sports quarantine was lifted. The problem is, no one really knows when that might be.

“We have said, no athletic activities through April 15,” Sankey said in a news conference Wednesday.
