Roughly a quarter of people don’t think football will happen in the fall.
Following updated coronavirus guidelines from the government Thursday and the hope that our economy will open soon, I asked people if they thought the season would happen. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Of the 1,634 voters, only 72.4% of people voted that they thought football would happen in the fall. The season not happening received 27.6% of the vote.
With the updated coronavirus guidelines, do you think college football and the NFL will happen in the fall?

These results are very surprising to me. It seems like things are 100% trending in the correct direction, and more than 27% of people don’t even think the season will happen.
It seems like there’s a lot more pessimism than necessary at the current moment. Now, I’m not a medical expert, but things seem to be on track to open up.
President Donald Trump even said Thursday that our sports are going to come back.

Usually when I run these polls, I ask if people think coronavirus will have an impact. Notice that’s not what I asked here.
I simply asked if the season will happen at all, and only 72.4% voted yes. Let’s have a little optimism, folks! We’re winning the war.

It certainly looks like we’re going to have football in the fall. Obviously, a lot can change between now and then, but I’m staying optimistic.
