YSU football fans have been social distancing at games for a number of years.

I think YSU (and other schools) could have football in September, but I do not see it happening. They will never risk it.

Say did you guys see that Doctor (Acton?) that works for the ODOH has been wearing a "Y" on her lab coat. She announced that she was a proud YSU graduate. It gives me a sense of pride to know what an enormous impact a Penguin is having in the State of Ohio with Covid-19. Gov DeWine was also wearing a YSU tie.

I do not expect to see football at any level this fall.

Let's not forget that it is more than football, it is all fall sports. Possibly winter as well, as winter sports practice in the fall. I hope I am wrong but I am preparing for the worst.

Agreed, the fact that spring and summer practices will no doubt be out of the question, means no sports in the fall. Unless things change real quick, which I do not see, that is just the way it is going to be.

Wonder how college eligibility may be affected.

Stuff like this does remind us of what really is important and what is not.

Great question and statement. I would hope that if the year is a washout & the NCAA pushes back on all eligibility. As to what is important, my mother is 89 and this thing could kill her. It was just a few years ago when she had knee surgery and stopped going to YSU games. I hope that health is inherited.  :)
