Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh: No fans in stadium, no problem

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh says he would have no issue playing college football this fall in empty stadiums.

Harbaugh, appearing Wednesday morning on ESPN’s “Get Up!” with host Mike Greenberg, was asked if he would be comfortable with that option. College athletics were suspended in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is unclear across the country whether students will return to campus this fall and whether or how fall sports can be played.

During the interview, Harbaugh discussed the potential for COVID-19 testing for players and coaches from both teams and for officials before every game.
