Amid COVID-19 uncertainty, the college sports world scrambles for meaning— and money

The Mid American Conference announced that it was going to postpone its fall athletics season last week, amidst speculation of a reduced schedule. Quickly thereafter, the MAC was followed by the Mountain West, Big 10 and PAC-12.

As of this writing, the rest of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences have announced that they are having their fall seasons as normal or with a reduced schedule.

So what does that mean? Number one, the virus has not left us. There are still flare ups across the country. Shortly after opening up, Notre Dame, North Carolina and Michigan State University all announced they are going to online learning due to major flare-ups on campus.
