In an Instagram video, ESPN’s Chris Fowler said Monday that, “informed speculation from a lot of reasonable people indicate the spring option could be the least risky of them all.”
Fowler went on and said there are likely three options for the college football season: play the season as scheduled, push it back to November and make it a two-semester sport, or push it all the way back to the spring of 2021.
Then on Wednesday, AAC commissioner Michael Aresco told Paul Finebaum that a spring season is something being considered.
“I don’t want to be the one to go on record saying there is going to be spring football, or winter football. But talking to our own group, that is something you have to consider,” said Aresco.
While some pro-sports may begin their seasons in the near future without fans, college football cannot survive that way.
Revenue from ticket sales drives several athletic programs and the FootballScoop points out the “entire college athletics industry will collapse without a football season played some time before summer 2021.”
