It had been a while since the sports world got news of more cancellations. Well, Notre Dame football announced the cancellations of no games, but instead all of their summer camps for 2020.
The athletic department made the announcement via the Notre Dame Football Twitter account on Monday morning.
Football camps update: All scheduled football camps this summer have officially been cancelled.
We apologize for any inconveniences.

These camps might get looked at as not being very big deals but they’re important in terms of selling the program. Sure, you’ll have dozens and dozens of players that attend that the football program will never have any desire to offer a scholarship to but for the ones they are interested in you can bet your bottom dollar the selling of the program is going on then.
The camps canceled include:
Lineman Challenge
Overnight Camp
Specialist Camp
7×7 Passing Camp
QB Academy
Irish Invasion
Notre Dame Sunday Night Football
And for the non-high school football players:
Adult Fantasy Camp
Youth Camp
Football 101
For those looking for a positive sign in terms of things getting going and starting on time, this certainly wasn’t the signal you wanted to see on Monday morning. Let’s hope it’s a just pothole on the road to football and doesn’t lead to a crater that we’re unable to drive through.
