The 2020 college football season is slated to begin on Saturday, Aug. 29, but that appears to be in jeopardy in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

However, Texas A&M Chancellor John Sharp is optimistic a full slate of games could be played even if the season begins as late as October.

"In some conversations with SEC officials and NCAA, I think they've come to the conclusion that you can probably start football as late as October and still have a 13-game schedule," Sharp said during a live video discussion with the Texas Tribune (h/t Associated Press).
