From Tom Shatel - Omaha Weird Herald..........
The prospects of Nebraska playing a 12-game season this fall look extremely doubtful.
South Dakota State Athletic Director Justin Sell told CBS Sports last week that SDSU athletics is not testing for the coronavirus — for financial reasons.
No tests, no football, no way. And no South Dakota State at Nebraska game on Sept. 19.
It’s a Catch-22 for schools like SDSU, which need the money from playing at Nebraska. But sorry, that’s a risk nobody should have to take.
I see no reason why Nebraska, with diligent and active testing by its staff, can’t have football practice this fall. How many games will be played? At this point, with opponents from 10 different states — with varying degrees of testing and positive tests — it feels like six or seven games might be a good year in 2020.
It’s still too soon to know what this season will be like. If it’s a shortened hybrid of normality, a lot of coaches and programs are going to be upset.
