There are 130 major college football teams, spread across 41 states and competing in 10 conferences, save for a handful of independents. The goal is to have all those teams start the upcoming season at the same time - whether that's around Labor Day as scheduled or later - and play the same number of games. Despite the best intentions of conference leaders, the possibility exists of college football being played in SEC country before it begins in Pac-12 territory - or something else entirely.

Reconnecting with mentors, friends, coaches and professors, these football greats reflected on the experiences that they carried with them well beyond their college years. While they all share different stories, their journeys to the NFL were each met with adversity, and whether on or off the field, these obstacles served as tests for each individual athlete to overcome. These challenges made them stronger, earning them valuable lessons and helping them create special connections with the university they will always call ‘home.’

Too early to just hand him the Heisman Trophy now?

Nine of the 14 football-playing members of the Atlantic Coast Conference are making plans for reopening campuses this fall while three others have publicly said they are exploring scenarios for a return following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Reopening campuses for in-person instruction is a crucial step toward restarting college sports, which were shut down in March. Commissioners of the nation's major football conferences told Vice President Mike Pence last month that college sports couldn't return until campuses have reopened, while the NCAA's chief medical officer said last week that widespread testing for COVID-19 would be critical to restarting sports.

NCAA President Mark Emmert says the coronavirus is making it unlikely all schools will be ready to begin competing in college sports at the same time. Emmert appeared with Dr. Brian Hainline, the NCAA's chief medical officer, in an interview shown on the NCAA's official Twitter account Friday night.

"If a school doesn’t reopen, then they’re not going to be playing sports. It’s really that simple," Emmert said.
