The COVID-19 outbreak has cast a pall of uncertainly over all major sports, not just college football, but there has been a lot of discussion about the start of the 2020 campaign recently.
Many are wondering if things will start on time, which will likely depend on how quickly teams can get themselves ready to go this summer.
LSU strength coach Tommy Moffitt said on Monday that he thinks the Tigers would need a month to prepare for their first game (via The Advocate):
“My biggest concern is player safety,” Moffitt said Monday night on LSU’s in-house radio show, “LSU Sixty.” “It’s my responsibility to make sure they’re in shape before we start any form of training camp.
“For me to do my job, I feel I would need at least a month to prepare.”
Will teams end up getting that much time or not? That remains to be seen, as there is no plan to resume football just yet.
However, it seems a month is a common choice for how long it will take to get players ready for action.
