Arizona Wildcats athletic director Dave Heeke said the 2020 Major League Baseball season will be an apt model for college sports to follow when they begin, whether that be in the fall or sometime in 2021.
Because unlike the NBA and NHL, which are resuming their seasons in this pandemic in a bubble sealed off from the outside world, MLB teams are traveling from city to city as usual, just like college athletics will.
So you can bet the way the coronavirus swept through the Miami Marlins’ clubhouse—and the way the outbreak was mismanaged—caught the attention of Heeke and other athletic directors around the country who hope to have sports anytime soon.
