DANIA BEACH, Fla. — The College Football Playoff continued revising its safety guidelines Monday by announcing Orange Bowl participants Michigan football and Georgia are no longer required to open 15 minutes of their respective practices to the media due to COVID-19 concerns, effectively blocking external health assessments of either team prior to the game on Dec. 31.
Instead, both teams were asked to provide pool photos and 15 minutes of videography that could be disseminated to reporters covering the event.
“I've got a tremendous amount of respect for our medical staff and the precautions they've taken to prepare our kids,” Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning said in a Zoom call on Monday morning.
