An overwhelming majority of people think coronavirus will impact the football season.

As we all know, I’ve been running weekly polls on whether or not the season will be impacted by the virus, and the latest results weren’t great. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Of the 5,485 voters, a staggering 82.7% of people voted that the virus will impact the season!

That’s up almost 10 points from last week, and it’s light years ahead of where the results were just a few weeks back!

People are clearly starting to lose faith.

Clearly, people are starting to get very pessimistic about the upcoming season, and you can add my name to the list.

We went from around 50% thinking the virus would impact the season just a couple weeks back to more than 80% thinking the same at the end of June.

The sport has been hammered by a ton of positive tests over the past few weeks, and nobody really has any idea what will happen with the season.

Do I think the season will happen in the fall? Yes. Do I think there could be some gigantic changes coming down the pipeline?

I think there’s a very good chance that happens.

We’ll see what happens once September rolls around, but things clearly aren’t trending upward when it comes to the confidence fans have.
