NCAA coronavirus advisory panel: Football season, college sports 'will be nearly impossible to play'
quote:
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic that caused spring football practices to be canceled in March, Amesh Adalja, M.D., senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security and part of the NCAA coronavirus advisory panel, has provided updates if the feasibility of a season could be played this fall.
In June, Adalja told Vols Wire that it would be “a challenge” for a college football season to be played this fall.
Following news regarding the MAC canceling its fall football season, Adalja discussed if Power Five conferences could still play beginning next month.
“With the virus being not fully controlled in many parts of the country, and testing having long turn around times, it will be nearly impossible to play many college sports according to best practices in the pandemic era,” Adalja told Vols Wire.
