Southeastern Conference athletic directors and personnel convened in Birmingham, Alabama on Monday to assess the possibility of playing scheduled college football games this fall.
The meeting came after the Big Ten and Pac-12 officially announced a conference-only slate for upcoming fall sports. This announcement followed spikes in COVID-19 cases across much of the country in the last few weeks.
The SEC meeting resulted in a rather bleak outlook by many that this football season will resemble anything fans are accustomed to. Conference commissioner Greg Sankey’s official statement following the summit carries implications for Clemson and the rest of the college football world.
