New York state is expected to make a final decision by early September on whether fans can attend college sports events.
The final decision is expected prior to the Orange’s Sept. 4 season opener at Boston College. Rich Azzopardi, a senior aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, told Syracuse.com that any policy change would account for new information or trends regarding the coronavirus pandemic.
“When it gets closer to the season starting, we’ll be making another determination,” Azzopardi said.
