Well, this isn’t what you want to hear at all as we near the end of August. In fact, this is a really bad situation.
We’re about a month away from SEC football games starting. Now, I’m not saying you should panic, but Auburn shutting things down because of coronavirus isn’t a good sign.

Right now, I wouldn’t be overly worried. However, if this situation turns into an outbreak in the locker room, then the Tigers could be toast.
A month might sound like a lot of time, but if we’ve learned anything over the past month, things can change really fast in the world of college football.

Auburn needs to keep the sick players far away from the rest of the team, let them heal up and protect everyone else at all costs. We need college football, and we need a program like Auburn playing.
Get the job done, Gus Malzahn!
