This is a very positive update and it confirms what I’ve more or less been saying for the past month. The SEC is going to play football no matter what.
While the rest of the world burns, the SEC is setting a course and is hellbent on following it.

I know I drag the SEC on a regular basis, but that’s just rivalry chatter. I respect the hell out of them doing whatever it takes to play football.
In times of crisis, those with a plan will succeed and those without one will fail. At the very least, the SEC is preparing to return.

It’s commendable and it’s something fans around the country will support. Can a lot go wrong between now and June? Sure, the pandemic makes everything incredibly fluid.
Having said that, it’s safe to say the SEC is trending in the right direction. Props to them! Trust me, you won’t hear me say that often, but wars often create unlikely allies.
Health experts: college football might be canceled this season because of coronavirus.
