Rutgers president Jonathan Holloway thinks there’s a chance college football doesn’t happen in the fall.

At the moment, the future of America’s favorite sport hangs in the balance thanks to coronavirus, and nobody knows what will happen. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Holloway sounded a bit worried in a recent comment. He told NJ Advance Media’s Adam Clark, “I think we are far from certain that we are going to have a college football season in the fall. Maybe in the spring, but even then we are just guessing right now.”

Football better happen in the fall. If it doesn’t, then you’re going to see fans across America pissed off and defeated.

I fully understand that we’re in the middle of a pandemic, and we have to be fluid. Nobody knows that more than me.

However, I refuse to believe that there’s no way football can happen in the fall. It just has to happen. We’ll be flexible, but games have to get underway.

If they don’t, then America is in big trouble. It’s that simple. Football unifies people, and we need that more than ever.

We should do whatever needs to be done, but we simply can’t allow September to arrive without football games underway. That’s a reality I simply refuse to accept.
