The return of college football in America received a gigantic boost late Thursday afternoon.
According to Brett McMurphy, the NCAA Football Oversight Committee officially approved a six-week plan for teams to start having formal camps, and teams must practice at least four weeks before they’ll be allowed to play.

Yahoo Sports reported that July 13 is believed to be the first day formal camps can begin under the plan. The NCAA Division I Council will now rubber stamp the proposal, and football is back!

Below is a live look at my reaction to this gigantic update!
We kind of all knew this was going to happen, but it’s still great that it’s now official. There’s been a lot of chatter about this for weeks.
Given the fact we’re in the middle of an ongoing pandemic, you never know when things might change. It’s a very fluid situation.
Health experts: college football might be canceled this season because of coronavirus.

Despite the fact we’ve been told for a long time that the NCAA Football Oversight Committee would approve the six-week plan, I don’t think anyone wanted to count the chickens before the eggs hatched.
Well, it’s a gorgeous day in America, the beer is cold and camps can start in just about a month. If that doesn’t have you excited, then you’re probably a communist.
I hope you guys are all as pumped as I am. It’s been a tough war and we’re still out here taking names and kicking butt against coronavirus.
Football is back, baby!
