We’re not playing college football this year.
This is not an argument on behalf of cancelling the season, this is simply looking at the world right now and realizing that we lack the capability to have a college football season this fall.
It may have been possible when we first learned of the coronavirus. Maybe if we had all washed our hands, worn a mask, and avoided social contact as much as possible, we could have nipped this thing in the bud.
But the fact is, we didn’t. I don’t really care who is to blame, and there’s a long list of people you could put on the list, but it generally boils down to this: the government’s messaging has been inconsistent to downright incoherent and too many individuals has been unwilling to make the sort of communal sacrifices necessary for the benefit of the collective whole.
