College football 2020 teeters on the brink

Good morning, and welcome back to the evergreen roller coaster ride that has been the college football offseason. When COVID-19 was racing its way through the world in the early spring, the greatest hope we had that college football would take place as scheduled centered around the fact that it was still nearly half a year away.
