[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 729520, member: 1776"] Bristol has a capacity of over 160000 so that is less than 20% capacity. NASCAR is currently the only US sport attempting to play with fans. Most sports haven't even started up yet and when they do you have the MLS, WNBA, NBA, MLS all playing in bubbles. PGA is playing without fans for the rest of 2020 season. neither the MLB, NFL or college football have started yet. US Open tennis is expecting to play in August, but without fans and players largely isolated. 3 NFL teams have already announced that if they have fans at all it will be a greatly reduced capacity - Ravens said no more than 15K. Philly has already said no fans. I expect the NY and CA teams will have no fans. So that outkick the coverage article is pretty misleading. it's reading like everything is up and running and that isn't accurate at all. College football is always going to be the hardest to bring back. It has the largest number of players (over 13,000), it is the most widely dispersed (FBS schools in 46 states), it is the least centralized so it is the most difficult to make decisions on across the country, and it is the only one involving student-athletes rather than professionaly paid players which brings in a whole other set of issues. It also is going to require the greatest amount of testing and has the least amount of money to do it. i hope we get some college football, but to deny that there are legitimate issues to be overcome does not help us get closer to having it. Those are the issues that the conference commissioners are trying to deal with right now. Multiple commissioners have basically said if we don't get the case numbers down we won't be able to have college football, So it is up to us to see if we can get our sport back. [/QUOTE]
