Quote:We are entering a cycle in college athletics of Push Push and Hope. Schedules are being delayed, nudged back with the hope that the COVID-19 pandemic will subside enough to allow some semblance of a normal college football season.
Narrator: it won't. While infections seem to have peaked in many of the hotspots (Florida, Texas), deaths, which are delayed a few weeks, will continue to rise. Then things will probably flatten out a bit but we will still see 1000 or so people dying from COVID-19 a day. It may slowly decline after that, but over the course of months. And there is a decent chance that as things decline, we again let down our guard and things get worse.

Agreed. I've assumed for some time that college sports - at least ones where competitors come in contact with each other - are done for the 2020-2021 academic year.
