Found this recent article with Bob Lombardi. He says PIAA will wait until late July to decide on Fall sports. Spring football not an option, but shortened seasons are. Seems pretty pessimistic about football.

I am not seeing how that article seemed so pessimistic. It certainly doesn't give any guarantees about a season, but it doesn't sound that negative either.

My impression is that he thinks noncontact sports have a decent chance but football will be difficult to play because of the CDC guidelines. Just my interpretation though.

Looks like the NJCAA is going to cancel Fall Sports.

Sounds like Dallas Area in Texas is cancelling it.. If Texas starts to cancel Football you know this is bad.

Well texas is in full crisis mode there. Opened early, let cases start to spike, hospitals filled and only now is starting to realize the problem thats there.

Its amazing how a disease only meant for nov elections now has a the biggest conservative run state pushing out the same things others have been trying to preach for the past couple months. People might be starting to understand this is politics or the media.... Idk still a lot of blind bats out there
