'Next thing you know you got a locker room full of guys that are sick. And that's on your watch? I wouldn't want to have that,' Herbstreit said. 'As much as I hate to say it, I think we're scratching the surface of where this thing's gonna go.'
It's hard to imagine no football in America this fall. But in 2020, the unimaginable has become the new norm, especially in the sports world. As the spread of coronavirus has brought sports to a screeching halt, ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit said this week he does not see football happening in 2020, either.
"I'll be shocked if we have NFL football this fall, if we have college football. I'll be so surprised if that happens," HerbstreitHis rationale was that he said a vaccine will not be in circulation for at least another year, and that coaches and officials would not want a locker room full of sick players, much less stadiums that hold up to 100,000 people spreading the virus.
