NCAA president Mark Emmert: No sports without students on campus
"If a school doesn’t reopen, then they’re not going to be playing sports. It’s really that simple," Emmert said.
“All of the Division I commissioners and every president that I’ve talked to is in clear agreement: If you don’t have students on campus, you don’t have student-athletes on campus,” Emmert said. “That doesn’t mean it has to be up and running in the full normal model, but you’ve got to treat the health and well-being of the athletes at least as much as the regular students. So if a school doesn’t reopen, then they’re not going to be playing sports. It’s really that simple.”
But some, like Greg Sankey of the SEC, have said that forging ahead separate from other conferences is not out of the question.
Elsewhere, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby told Stadium that football could return if only online classes were being held.
It doesn't look "That simple", to me.
