Coronavirus could push CU Buffs spring football practice to “May or June,” AD says

The CU Buffs’ first spring football session under new coach Karl Dorrell could soon be slated for the summer.

“Is there a possibility that you could have spring practice in May or June? That’s a possibility,” CU athletic director Rick George told reporters during a Tuesday afternoon conference call. “We certainly would push for that, given the new staff and given preparedness for the upcoming year.”

CU was originally to have begun its spring football calendar Monday before concerns over the spread of coronavirus scuttled those plans. The campus, like its Pac-12 peers, is currently closed and students are taking classes remotely.
