Latest College Football News

In the past few days, we've seen several interesting developments in college and pro football. Horizon College's football program temporarily halted due to novel coronavirus concerns. Also, Western Illinois' players decided not to play in the 2020 season due to the COVID pandemic. Notre Dame reduced its stadium capacity in light of the COVID pandemic, and a couple of major college football programs moved to the spring season.

Horizon's football program temporarily shut down because of novel coronavirus concerns

The next two games of Horizon's football program have been canceled due to COVID-19 concern. This move is the latest step by the school to combat novel coronavirus concerns. Since the virus is highly contagious, Horizon is considering a ban on the sport altogether. A positive COVID-19 diagnosis will not impact the school's season, but it is important to note that the school's football program was temporarily suspended and will be under review for several weeks.

Western Illinois' players opt out of 2020 season

After spending three seasons at Western Illinois, Clint Ratkovich has decided to leave his senior year and forego the 2020 season. The versatile offensive force suited up at wide receiver, tight end and running back, he has decided to pursue his FBS football dream at Northern Illinois. Ratkovich, a graduate transfer from Western Illinois, had planned to finish his career at the school before the coronavirus pandemic wiped out most of the team's players.

Notre Dame's stadium capacity reduced amid COVID pandemic

As part of a health and safety protocol, the University of Notre Dame will cap the capacity of its football stadium at 20 percent. This reduction is significant because Notre Dame has played football since the 1800s, and the COVID pandemic has forced the school to join the Atlantic Coast Conference and implement significant health and safety guidelines. The university will also implement a policy banning the sale of food, drinks and other items that can transmit the virus.

Notre Dame's move to spring season

As the Notre Dame football program moves to the spring season, several things are changing for the Irish. They lost several key players, including a veteran leader up front and an elite safety in the defensive backfield. The wide receiver group also has to be reassembled, but the Irish should be able to find enough talent to reach the College Football Playoff next fall. After a disappointing season, the Irish could be well on the way to a College Football Playoff bid.

Penn State's decision to pull out of bowl games

Following a 56-21 victory over Illinois, the Penn State football program announced its decision to withdraw from consideration for any bowl games. The decision will leave the Nittany Lions with a 4-5 overall record, which is the first time that Penn State has finished without a bowl game since 2004. Penn State's decision to pull out of a bowl game is not surprising, considering that a majority of the football team was in isolation for months due to the COVID-19 virus. However, a growing number of teams have pulled out of bowl games this season.
