AUBURN — Back in March, when COVID-19 had only just begun to ravage America and shut down college sports, Allen Greene was asked how not having a football season in the fall would impact Auburn’s budget.
The athletics director didn’t want to speculate. At the time, the SEC was planning on playing football in the fall. It still is.
Four months later, though, there are questions not only about how the season will proceed amid the global pandemic, but whether it will happen at all as case numbers rise in the Southeast and throughout the country.
