Don't be surprised if you see some D-1 programs starting to cut costly non-revenue sports too. Michigan's stability-challenged governor has flat out said there won't be full stadiums until there is a vaccine. I expect her to either revise her stance or get it revised for her by the courts or their state legislature, but if you're writing a FY2021 budget you've got to plan on that revenue not being available.


The ACC is already looking at that as well. Talking about blocking seats and alternating rows. Right now they are looking at best to fill at 50%. The main issue is dealing with season ticket holders. Box seats they are not concerned with as much since most places now allow up to 25 to be in a group. I also have a suspicion we may not start the season on time until the players can fully be physically ready to play. It might be 2 or 3 weeks later then normal for the start.

People who think football will be back to norm in the fall may be very disappointed.

Gatherings of up to 10 people are allowed and people are allowed to attend indoor Church services. In stadium seating, no more than 10 people will be within any other person's social distancing zone. People don't have to go to the game if they don't want to and people can wear masks. Imo, people should be allowed to go to football games.

If it is delayed it will probably be for the other reasons you listed IMO bc if the players report June 8th, they should be physically ready by September I would think
