Just to set the record straight, and to be totally transparent, here are a few of my personal feelings about the coronavirus and fall football:
• If a decision had to be made today, the SEC would not be playing football this fall.
The decision, though, doesn’t have to be made for weeks, maybe a month, and that’s probably close to the maximum.
The Big Ten and Pac-12 presidents were premature in trying to show they run their conferences and not athletic directors or commissioners.
If the SEC, ACC and Big 12 have football seasons without major issues, those other two leagues will feel the repercussions for several years.
