Opinion: The 2020 college football season, even in the mighty SEC, is in real trouble

The strangest part of the last four months in college football has been watching the so-called leaders of the sport’s most powerful conference acting as if some of the fundamental facts we’ve learned about COVID-19 do not apply to their enterprise

As recently as mid-May, Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne said in an interview with the SEC Network that the “hope and plan right now is to play this fall with a full schedule and a full stadium” even as construction workers at Bryant-Denny Stadium were falling ill in clusters.

A month after that, Texas A&M’s Ross Bjork expressed optimism that the 50 percent capacity limit imposed by Gov. Greg Abbott for sporting events would be significantly increased by the time football season rolled around.

TCU basically has an opportunity to play any number of teams of their choosing to replace Cal. I really hope we don’t end up playing a team like Liberty. But something tells me that’s exactly what’s going to happen, and that would be extremely disappointing.
Better take 'Bama, just ask Baylor how potent Liberty can be.

Even if you believe a season cancellation is smart, scolding people for not wanting to heed the "medical" advice of Kirk Herbstreat is about as dumb of a take as I've ever read.
