(AP) – It is less than four months before the scheduled kickoff of the college football season.

Not one of the 14 schools in the Big Ten Conference can say for sure they will have students back on campus this fall.

That is a crucial step for sports.

The most resolute about having students back has been Purdue President Mitch Daniels

He says he expects students will be back on campus “in typical numbers.”

No other school has gone even that far.

The goal is for all of major college football _ 130 teams in 10 conferences across 41 states _ to start a season at the same time and play an equal number of games. It is becoming more apparent the coronavirus pandemic is going to make that goal difficult to achieve. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)
