Actually, it's two teams now as the Phillies have been shut down too for positive cases. There is no way they are going to be able to control this.

And St. Louis. THree teams now.

Players union believes the season could be shut down as early as Monday.

As much as I love football and sports, expecting a college football season is just a fool's errand (at this point).

The fate of fall sports can be decided as early as Tuesday....

UConn football out for the year.

Welp they won't be the only school, I forsee C-USA/MAC both cancelling the season. The only G5 leagues I believe that could play a season is MW and AAC. And that's a stretch because their bottom feeder teams in both leagues are struggling financially without the P5 payout games on the schedule from the PAC 12 and Big 12.

Even if football is played this fall, I doubt we will have FCS playoffs. All upcoming athletic events during "flu season" are at risk. 2020 may be remembered by sports fans as an asterisk season - no records or streaks during this period will be recognized.

The NCAA gives the go ahead if a certain set of conditions are followed. So now what?

Now we play!

https://www.ncaa.org/about/resources...nd-eligibility

All student-athletes must be allowed to opt out of participation due to concerns about contracting COVID-19. If a college athlete chooses to opt out, that individual’s athletics scholarship commitment must be honored by the college or university.

NCAA championships may use reduced bracketing, a reduced number of competitors, predetermined sites and, where appropriate, single sites to limit exposure to COVID-19.

If 50% or more of eligible teams in a particular sport in a division cancel their fall season, there will be no fall NCAA championship in that sport in that division.

The divisions must determine by Aug. 21 whether their respective fall sports seasons and NCAA championships should occur this year. All three divisions must follow their governance processes in making decisions.
