Brian Kelly summed up our broad reality, as well as college football’s, when the Notre Dame head coach said, “The virus is as the virus is, right? It’s out there and you never know.”
That was a full week ago, and since then, the football season has only further disintegrated. In the smaller subset of Irish opponents, only four of seven games were actually played last week. This week’s slate has already been cut in half. The slipping and sliding within schedules shows no signs of abating.
Even the Pac-12 is on the verge of allowing non-conference games simply because it needs more inventories of rosters to put forth something resembling a weekend-full of games only two weeks into its season.
