Flexibility Of Ohio State, Widespread Desire To Play Should Increase Optimism About A 2020 Football Season In Columbus

No, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said on Wednesday, he’s not 100 percent comfortable right now with the idea of college football games being played.

Not yet.

And no, he doesn’t believe either his athletic department or any other is nearing a decision about the 2020 season and whether or not it goes ahead as planned. Though dozens of football players will return to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center for workouts beginning on June 8, he said he doesn’t think a decision has to be made about the season until somewhere in early July, which remains a month and a half away.
