O'Sullivan is certainly correct and he's not only a very good ball coach, but a big picture guy as well. It is also true at the high school levels. Read an article in the Tallahassee paper outlining what getting football started again will look like. I'm paraphrasing, but the NCAA AD's are forecasting CV-19 testing of the entire team, coaching, and support staff, initial practices utilizing social distancing (small groups, even perhaps individual balls for each skill player; not certain if the balls can carry the virus, but no mention of other practice equipment that is contacted by numerous players), shut down for a positive test, no mention about fans in the stands or game day staff. Still a great amount of uncertainty. During a recent national HS AD's Zoom, many around the country are making plans for no football, which is affecting virtually every other sport, as football is the financial bell cow, or they are hoping for a shorter season that starts later. Those that are hoping to play are planning on limited crowds with social distancing in the stands or no crowds at all. Many are also planning to not charge sponsors or supporters this year, but to carry their advertising. A very noble gesture, but the absence of that arm of financial support along with reduced or no ticket revenues is almost catastrophic.
I'm hopeful, but there is a lot that will have to change and very quickly for football to get started or even happen this fall.
