[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 711136, member: 1776"] There have been a number of articles with quotes from various AD's and here are the general takeaways. They really want to get a football season in (obviously they need any money they can get in a bad way) They will not play college football without fans (if it isn't considered to be safe for fans to be there then it is not safe for student-athletes to be there) If students are not on campus in the fall then there will be no fall college sports. They really want to try to play a full season. They don't want to have to start a season and then stop it. They would rather wait until they can play a full season than play a partial one. Winter is an absolute no go for football (B12 and B10 are completely opposed due to the elements their SA's would have to play in) Cancelled games mean refunding tickets (and they are already losing revenue with lower ticket sales, lower donations, and expectations for lower crowds when and if they eventually get to play) Different AD's and coaches had different takes but the time to ramp up for college football will take anywhere from 30 to 60 days. (With no expectations for SA's to be on campus this summer it will basically be at least 5 months since any SA has been in person monitored. Expectation is that alot of SA's will not be in the normal shape going into fall practice. Some schools didn't even start spring practice before it all shut down). They do not expect SA's to be on campus this summer. Final decisions will likely have to be made in June - potentially early June. One other personal note. IMO there is no chance college football will be the first sport back. Colleges aren't going to play student-athletes unless professional leagues first prove it is safe to do so with fans in the stands. FWIW, Munich cancelled Oktoberfest today. First time since WWII and only the third time outside of WWII (1854, 1873). Germany had already cancelled all large public gatherings to the end of August. I'd also watch what is happening in Singapore. After having everything in check for months, they have had 5,426 cases in the last 6 days. They have 10,236 cases for the entire year. The outbreak has been traced back to migrant workers living in dormitories. To me that has 2 potential issues to keep an eye on. First, they haven't had a low below 77F in the month of April (and highs every day but one in the 90's) which suggests heat is going to be of limited value to attacking this virus. Second, if dormitories are a breeding ground, will that translate to US and Western European colleges and will it make them more likely to not have students live on campus in the fall? [/QUOTE]
