I don't think there will be a spring season, just doesn't make any sense. If football doesn't happen in the fall, then it won't happen until fall of 2021.

Probably won't be a vaccine by then either.

If we don't have a football season, 90% of college sports programs will be shuttered; softball, gymnastics, baseball, swimming, hockey, track, you name it. If it ain't football or men's basketball, it ain't self-sustaining and nobody will continue a money losing sport if no revenue is coming in. Then there's the economic impact on the college towns, most of which depend on football and students for survival. The political and social pressure to have a season is tremendous. I'm glad I'm not in Greg Byrne's shoes.

It sure doesnt look like a Fall season. Nothing is going to change in the next few weeks and I dont think anyone will be willing to take on the public outcry when players start testing positive, especially when one gets real sick.
A Doctor on Sunday said China will likely have a vaccine by Fall, and he believes the US and Europe will have a couple by year end.
But producing enough to vaccinate the world he said could take to Spring or next summer. He feels there will be several others trials that will also prove positive and help. So, I think its Spring or bust for college football.
BTW, he said this will likely be like the FLU shot, that you will need to get every year. Its not going away.
