“If these numbers continue to rise and the danger persists. I can’t do it. I won’t do it,” McMaster said during a Wednesday press conference when talking about the upcoming season, according to the Greenville News.
The comment comes after it was revealed the state had 24 coronavirus deaths in a day, which was the highest death toll since the pandemic started back in March.

If this doesn’t make people take the situation seriously, then I have no idea what will. If they won’t listen when the fate of college football is on the line, then they’re simply not going to listen at all.
