The doom and gloom that permeated discussions about the potential of having college football in the fall amid the COVID-19 pandemic is starting to give way to sunshine and rainbows. Of course, health and safety is still what’s on everyone’s minds — and rightly so — but there are more and more people connected to the sport who are starting to feel extremely good about having a college football season.
Add Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt to that mix. He joins former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer and others who believe American football will be coming to a television set near you.
Now, that doesn’t mean there will not be some significant measures put in place, or that there will be fans in the stands — all of that will be worked out in due time. However, Klatt shared his view on Twitter last week, saying the more he talks to decision-makers, he sees an adapting reality that the season will happen.
Let’s hope Klatt, Meyer and others are right. Let’s also hope this tragic pandemic spares the country and world some of the worst-case scenarios swirling around out there.
Stay safe everyone.
