The quarantine is softening in Georgia, putting UGA football one step closer to returning. However, much of the nation is still dealing with COVID-19 quarantines and some areas will remain under quarantine for the next few months.
Some sports like NASCAR already have plans to resume action without fans. That’s not an option for college football because the athletic departments depend on attendance for a large bulk of revenue. Teams still need to practice to make up for the canceled spring session before starting preseason practices. Those factors will delay the beginning of the season regardless of how long the pandemic lasts.
