“Right now, I do believe that,” Finebaum told Sports Business News when asked if games will start in a few months.

The face of SEC football added, “I think most schools will play. There will be an outlier or two. [American Athletic Conference Commissioner] Mike Aresco made that point to us the other night where he said we have to be prepared to move forward – even if everyone can’t play. So I think most will start.”

It’s really hard to disagree with Finebaum at this point in time. I’m not even sure how you really could.

All signs are pointing towards the season starting. Players are returning to campuses, fans are getting ready to watch the games, coaches are back and it seems like football is almost certainly going to happen.

Is it a fluid situation that could change? Of course. That pretty much goes without saying, but all the momentum is swinging in the correct direction.

I have no doubt at all that we’ll have football in the fall.
