UF athletics director Scott Stricklin remains optimistic the football season will kick off Sept. 5 against Eastern Washington.
“We’re going to accommodate as many people as possible,” Stricklin told the Orlando Sentinel Thursday. “The longer we wait, the better chance we can have more people.”
Speaking at a Florida Board of Trustees meeting Thursday, Stricklin said he would like to hold off until early to mid-August before announcing a decision on crowd sizes.
Stricklin said predicting the future is a fool’s errand during the age of coronavirus. Even so, it has not prevented his fellow athletics directors from weighing in with force.
