Good morning, and welcome back to the evergreen roller coaster ride that has been the college football offseason. When COVID-19 was racing its way through the world in the early spring, the greatest hope we had that college football would take place as scheduled centered around the fact that it was still nearly half a year away. By May, the prospects for a normal football season looked quite likely, as the country had been taking concrete steps toward mitigating the spread, and both infections and deaths were on the wane.
But of course, we Americans couldn’t stand prosperity, the virus did not go away like a miracle - quite the opposite in fact - and now we sit on the verge of seeing no college football until at least 2021.
