By Riley Gates, 247Sports: Due to limitations that COVID-19 placed on the sport, college football was not the same in 2020, perhaps most notably in the loss of fans being in the stands in-full across the country. But as the COVID vaccine continues to roll out and life begins to return to normal, the 2021 football season could see full stadiums, according to Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby.
“If we continue to make the kind of progress that we’re making right now on testing and on vaccinations, I think it’s not unreasonable to see a fall that could have the reduced attendance restrictions lifted. I think Dr. (Anthony) Fauci said that and I think others have said that’s not an unreasonable expectation, but it’s going to be a matter of what happens between now and then. If we backslide or the variants turn out to be more difficult than they have been so far, who knows?”
