Bevo’s Daily Roundup: NCAA chief medical officer thinks ‘we can have fall sports’

If the Texas Longhorns are to kickoff the football season come fall, widespread testing will be crucial, NCAA chief medical officer Brian Hainline told the Associated Press last week.

“It’s not going to be risk-free, that’s for sure,” Hainline reportedly said. “If this is rolled out in stages and reasonably, we’re really paying attention to proper surveillance and we get the tests available, I think we can have fall sports. My concern is if we just rush into this too quickly because of this almost sense of desperation, that we just have to get going.
