re: NCAA discusses playing football season in February

Click bait article.

First, the NCAA has already said that a decision on when to play will be up to the schools and conferences (and subject to the situations in the states where they are situated).

Second, the advisory committee panel member they quote basically made the same point that folks here have made--what will be different in February?

Adalja discussed that having college football postponed until February could be one modification to the upcoming season. He also mentioned that you could see players wearing face shields as a precaution against COVID-19.

“You might have better control of the outbreak at that time, but we still won’t have a vaccine,” Adalja said of postponing the season until February. “You have to think about all kinds of modifications and that might be one.

“This virus is going to be with us until we have a vaccine, and if we are going to do sports, you have to come up with a way to try and make it feasible. I think pushing it off, you may still have those same problems — I don’t think we have an easy answer to this.”
