Saturday has not been a good day in terms of hope for a college football season.
The day started with the MAC postponing all fall sports because of the United States’ continued struggle against the COVID-19 pandemic. Then Saturday evening, CBS Sports’ Dennis Dodd reported that a “veteran Power Five athletic director” told him that it is “inevitable” that college football won’t happen this fall.
Dodd spoke with two Power Five ADs who referenced “a lack of progress fighting the coronavirus, according to their medical professionals.” College sports came to a halt on March 12, a day the United State’s reported 393 new coronavirus cases.
