The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the ACC are thus far adamant about going forward with the coming football season, even as others show signs of wavering. However, this horrific year has taught us even the most solid of expectations can be undone; the firmest assurances may have to be revisited. It behooves us to prepare ourselves for potential cancellation, even as we cling to hope.
Part of that is acceptance on an emotional level, processing that this thing we love may be withheld from us for another year. Another part of it is more practical: we need to find something to do on Saturdays in the fall.
