Conferences have slowly started making decisions on how they will be running college football this fall. The Pac 12 and Big Ten are going conference-only, and the Big 12 is talking about trying to play a full schedule. The SEC and ACC have yet to put any plans out; however, the two conferences are working to be able to play each other in some non-conference games, like the Clemson versus South Carolina game.
Clemson Athletic Director, Dan Radakovich, released information regarding this upcoming fall on Tuesday. He explains how student-athlete safety has been and always will be the number one priority, and this has been proven by the vigorous testing and protocols put in place to keep players healthy. The ACC Board of Governors have a meeting on July 29and August 5; these meetings will hopefully provide answers to all the questions that teams and fans have regarding the fall. Radakovich finished by saying, “The month of August is coming upon us quickly. I urge you to wear face coverings in public, wash your hands, and keep distancing whenever possible. We all want to see the Tigers take the field in front of a full house, but it can’t happen unless each of us commits to doing what it takes.”
