The clock is ticking for NCAA, conference officials and university leaders to begin making decisions about if, when and how the college football season will proceed forward amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

In his most recent teleconference with reporters in May, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said he believed decisions about the Buckeyes’ schedule would need to be made sooner than later once July begins.
