Have any SEC schools hinted that they *may* NOT open F2F classes in the fall?

It’s tough to track on a national level.
Different schools and states are all over the map (pardon the pun) on the issue.
I’m wondering which SEC schools have released official statements one way or another?

A&M, for example, is good to go: Texas A&M plans to reopen campus, play football in fall (B/CS Eagle)

Obviously this is provided things don’t take a turn for the worse.

I believe most SEC schools have at least committed to attempting a reopening.

I'm sure someone will be around shortly to correct me if I'm wrong, but I had read that somewhere.

I'm sure if any state even winks at such, it will be Louisiana, and it will be Governor Edwards stating it at a press conference while demanding a tax increase.

I've heard rumors out of South Carolina that they may play it safe and not have students return until November because they don't want to put their women's basketball season at risk, and they are willing to sacrifice football. Just a rumor at this point though

I think Vandy was the first to close, so they'd probably be a candidate.

No hints as of yet though.

I think UGA plans to open but what the instruction looks like is unclear (whether normal face to face or just smaller classes face to face and lectures online to reduce number of people on campus day to day)

A little off topic, but this is from a reporter at The Advocate in BR...
quote:

The Southeastern Conference university presidents will vote on May 22 whether players will be able to return to campus on either June 1 or June 15, LSU Executive Deputy Athletic Director Verge Ausberry told the Louisiana Economic Recovery Task Force Thursday morning. 

Ausberry, who also serves as LSU's Executive Director of External Relations, told the task force that the athletic department is aiming to return its players to campus on June 1, something athletic director Scott Woodward had also said in the department's virtual Coaches Caravan Wednesday night. 

"The presidents are going to take a vote in the SEC," Ausberry told the task force. "Do we come back? Do we brin

I believe I heard on the radio after this came out that he clarified that he's not 100% certain on the 15th option. Still, it looks like we are getting closer to some real decisions being made.
