A semi-full slate of college football games is scheduled for this weekend as a season unfolds....anxiously.
Already, two of the five major Division 1 conference have decided not to play this fall because of the coronavirus.
At the same time, high school football is happening in more than 30 states this fall. And so is a debate over whether it's right, or reckless, to let teenagers play a game considered high risk for COVID-19 transmission.

I’m looking forward to football at all levels, HS to NFL, and don’t have a problem if it’s limited crowd sizes or no crowds and televised.
If some local tv markets were smart they collaborate with HS sports authorities for local broadcasts of games whenever possible. Some cities and small towns already does that.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I agree. Games don’t need fans there in person. It’s a nice to have but not essential. Corporate greed made having high fan attendance who must pay outrages ticket prices the for profit industry it is today.
