COVID-19 Influence on 2021 FBS Season and Beyond?
Hopefully the answer to that question will be none and 2021 will be a "normal" college football season as opposed to 2020 which in my opinion will go down with an asterisk. Recently Illinois and Penn State announced they will allow 100% capacity for their games this fall. I imagine most if not all of the major college football teams in the country will do the same. I'm sure that players will still occasionally test positive and miss games but not at the level of the fall and certainly not the case of last fall's Pac-12 championship (Oregon, last year's Pac-12 champions, weren't even supposed to play in the game, Washington won the Pac-12 North). We'll actually see Florida-Florida State, Georgia-Georgia Tech, Iowa-Iowa State, etc. again as well as a few big time non conference games like Clemson-Georgia in Charlotte and Oregon-Ohio State. We'll see a Rose Bowl played in Pasadena (although Pasadena still got screwed out of a Playoff semifinal game, they should play one of this year's SF's in Pasadena instead of Dallas but we know that's not happening).

Will you be attending college football games in 2021? Did you attend last year? I bought a ticket to see a Phillies game sometime in late July but it's a midweek afternoon game where I'm counting on a smaller crowd. I was thinking of seeing the Yankees but I'm still paranoid about being around that many people. I haven't been to a Penn State game at Penn State in at least 10 and maybe close to 20 years as they are pretty far away from Philly and Temple isn't worth seeing in football unless Penn State comes in and when they come tickets are almost impossible to get. I might see Villanova men's basketball this upcoming winter.

I saw this article about vaccination rates in the country. "Currently, more than 64% of Americans have received at least one dose and about 43% are fully vaccinated." There are only five states that are below 50% vaccination. The five? Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Wyoming. Notice where four of the five states are in the country. And the very bottom? My favorite state with just 36% receiving at least one dose. Think about that if you're attending games.
