ODU AD on what football could look like in the Fall

NORFOLK (WAVY) — First basketball tournaments were canceled, then an entire spring season was lost.

Colleges throughout the nation are reeling from the effects of Covid 19, with more problems ahead and so many questions left unanswered.

While schools around the country and the state try and figure out what to do in the fall, Old Dominion Athletic Director Dr. Wood Selig says he deals with the unknown every day.

As far as football is concerned, trainers and medical professionals say at least six weeks are needed to get athletes in shape.

That would mean practice for Fall sports would need to begin three to four weeks from now in order for the season to start on time.
