The remaining 118 FBS schools do not play their opener until the following week between Thursday, Sept. 3 and Monday, Sept. 7. Those schools would need to report around July 27. If student-athletes are not able to return to campus by late July or early August, it’s likely that the season would not begin on time as scheduled. Since the six-week guideline has not been formally approved, it’s unknown if the six-week period would be mandatory or whether football programs could receive exemptions to play with only four or five weeks to prepare since universities could be opening up fall classes on different dates.<< [/QUOTE]
