At Virginia Tech, senior associate athletic director Brad Wurthman is so excited for the possibility of football fans returning to Lane Stadium this fall, he says jokingly that he'll pay to put a roof on it "just so we can blow the damn thing off on Sept. 3."
At USC, athletic director Mike Bohn said he heard from the school's marching band on a weekly basis last fall, pleading to be able to return to games or practices or a send-off -- anything -- to help the Trojans. Bohn said he is hoping state and local restrictions will soon loosen so everyone can return to the Coliseum this fall, including, of course, the school's iconic noble steed, Traveler.
