Look, I get it.
Everybody wants — needs — sports to come back. We would all like it. But, the Southeastern Conference needs to grapple with reality.
The latest statement from the conference — released two days ago — only mentions that all competition is suspended through April 15. Meanwhile, the NCAA has already cancelled all winter and spring sports championships, all the way out to the College World Series in June.
There is no particular point in keeping up the charade that competition might resume at some point. When the NCAA says there won’t even be a College World Series, what, exactly, is the purpose of saying that competition is suspended only through April 15?
