Another Tuesday has arrived and as we continue to wade deeper into another week, we inch closer and closer to the beginning of Major League Baseball’s abbreviated 60-game season, which is slated to start on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, in the football realm, there is still a great deal of discussion going on over how a college football season can be played in the fall — if it is even possible at all. And if football cannot be played, the economic ramifications could be huge, to the tune of many billions of dollars in lost revenues that stretches from the schools to the local economies to the broadcast networks.
There is still a great deal of uncertainty that lies ahead of us, with some answers expected to come sooner than later, such as with the SEC, which is expected to release a clarified plan before the end of July.
Enough of the bad news, here is some good news from yesterday on Gators Wire.
Around the Swamp
- Gators linebacker Ventrell Miller named to Butkus Award Watch List: Redshirt junior Florida linebacker Ventrell Miller has been named to the preseason watch list for the Butkus Award, given annually to the nation’s top linebacker, the Butkus Foundation announced Monday.
- Gators cornerback Kaiir Elam named to Jim Thorpe Award Watch List: The list of 49 will be narrowed to 10-15 semifinalists on Nov. 2 before being slimmed to just three finalists on Nov. 16. The winner is set to be announced at the Home Depot College Football Awards on Dec. 10.
It’s great to be a Florida Gator
