Longtime college football writer Matt Hayes has been talking to a lot of coaches and ADs, and he thinks the sport’s power brokers will find a way to hold some kind of season. “It may be truncated and may start later, but many firmly believe there will be ball,” he said.
I expect conference commissioners and athletic directors to try to find any possible way to make football happen. It’s the sport that pays for all the others. Men’s basketball is modestly profitable in some places, and certain sports at certain schools like LSU baseball or UConn women’s basketball come out in the black.
