re: Dennis Dodd " no discussion of summer kickoff for CFB"

Is it that the thought that the virus will not do well in the heat?

If so, it's not a very good thought process. All evidence so far points to this virus doing well enough in hot, humid weather to still be a problem.

I think another part of the thought process is that, if Trump goes through with an early re-opening, a summer kickoff would allow for some games to get played before the inevitable resurge of the virus in the fall.

This reasoning is flawed on multiple fronts, though. Pence and Dr. Fauci don't hold Trump's enthusiasm when it comes to the timeline on re-opening. That, and universities won't follow the re-opening timeline if it's deemed unsafe. The SEC cancelled its sports way before the federal government and even most state governments were issuing guidelines.
