College football facing harsh reality with students returning to campus

Yahoo Sports: The dashboards that post positive COVID-19 test numbers are the new scoreboards for the future of college football.

For generations, student support has been the rollicking lifeblood of college football. The student section has served as the teeming, visceral, and palpable energy behind programs.
