Joel Klatt, one of the lead college football analysts for FOXSports, tweeted today that he believes “The 2020 season is 100% happening.”
Some CFB thoughts:
– The 2020 season is 100% happening
– Fans will be in the stands to some capacity at most locations
– The season will likely start on time— Joel Klatt (@joelklatt) May 23, 2020
His tweet shares the sentiment that many have had recently that things will line up for a football season to happen at least in some parts of the country, with the issue of fans in attendance still being a questionable one.
Klatt does say, though, that he believes fans will be able to attend games in some capacity, this probably relating to an ESPN article from a few days ago detailing an Ohio model that shows “potential for 20,000-50,000 fans.”
As I wrote yesterday the lack of a football season in Madison would have a profound negative effect on both the city and state’s economies, so seeing some of the lead analysts start to assure fans that a season will happen in some capacity is welcome news in today’s difficult time.
